Red Skin Potato Salad

French Lavender's Note:

This is from "Donna" at the All Recipes web site. This is my FAVORITE potato salad. If you do not care for the tangy mustard flavor of regular potato salad, give this one a try. It is creamy, with the taste of bacon, celery, and some onion. It does have eggs, so it's not a "leave it out all day at a picnic" salad.

This is very good but I will use half the amount of eggs next time as it was a bit too eggy for my taste.

I've been making my red potato salad similar to this for years! The only difference is I add a bit of mustard to the sour cream and mayo mixture. This potato salad is a sure winner with everyone I've made it for!

"Thank you French Lavender, for this delicious potato salad. My guests were going in for seconds and thirds. Although I put in 1/2 a cup of fat free Greek yoghurt and reduced on the mayonnaise. This will be my future receip for holidays and special occasions."
