This was a wonderful combination of flavors and is much like the one I remember my mom making. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing.
The Last Potato Salad Recipe You Will Ever Need

Description
I personally can not stand eggs or raw onions, so I leave them out, but I know most people don’t think a potato salad is complete without them. But for goodness’ sake, don’t leave out the bacon! Try the dressing on a macaroni salad as well.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Potatoes
- ½ pounds Bacon, Cooked And Crumbled
- 1 cup Thinly Sliced Celery
- ½ cups Finely Diced Onion (try Green Onions With Their Tops)
- ⅓ cups Sweet Pickle Relish
- ¼ cups Mayonnaise Or Salad Dressing (I Like Half Mayo And Half Mircle Whip)
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Celery Seeds
- 2 teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Prepared Yellow Mustard
- 1-½ teaspoon Salt
- 3 whole Eggs, Hardboiled And Roughly Chopped
Preparation
1. Cook potatoes in boiling, salted water until tender.
2. Drain well.
3. Peel and cube potatoes.
4. Transfer to a large bowl.
5. Add celery, onion, sweet relish and bacon bits.
6. Combine mayo, sugar, celery seed, vinegar, mustard, and salt.
7. Add mayo mixture to potatoes.
8. Toss lightly to coat potato mixture.
9. Carefully fold in the chopped eggs.
10. Cover and chill thoroughly.
Bacon bit tip: Partially freeze your package of bacon. Use a sharp knife and cut the frozen bacon into long strips about 1/4 inch wide. Turn the bacon and cut the strips into pieces also about 1/4 in wide. You now have perfect raw bacon pieces to fast fry. No need to separate. They will separate during cooking. Perfect bacon bits! Heck, cook the whole pound. They are great out of the freezer on baked potatoes and salads.

This has been our potato salad for years and we love it.
I do the half and half dressing mix too. Sometimes I use sour cream and mayo. My onions have to be almost invisible. Sometimes I leave them out. Most the time I will whirl them up in the food processor with the mayo mix and no one is the wiser. I grind up the celery seed and add to taste. Gives it a taste of celery seed without the bitterness. OK and sometimes I add Dill Pickle instead of sweet. Drives my hubby wild. And then I add , sliced green olives . Yes, that is dill pickle and sliced olives. Sorry Karen, maybe I should just write a recipe and submitted it too. I just got excited that your recipe is the base of all my recipes. Great Job!

I’m a great fan of potato salad. This sounds so good that will try making it the next time we have potato salad. Bacon in any food just makes it over the top. Thanks for the recipe.
