Bacon and Cheddar Potato Salad

Submitted by iewe7726

"I love potato salad, and I love cheese and bacon -- this is a combination of all of them. Can serve at room temperature or chilled (I like it chilled best!). Time does not include chilling time if you choose to go that route."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 2 lbs red potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 1 cup mayonnaise

Love bacon and cheese in potato salad. I added some salt and pepper also. Made for I Recommend.

I scaled back for 4 serves, as I was hoping to have some left over but the 3 of us gobbled up the lot as part of our dinner. I left the skin on the potatoes and used Carisma potatoes which are a low GI potato. Thank you iewe, made for I Recommend tag game and recommended by Boomette.

Made for ZWT6 mainly because we love potato salad, but DH does not favor those that use pickles or pickle relish. Like you, I also love the combo of cheese & bacon in potato salad. I made a half recipe as written for 2 of us except I left out the milk as it was fine w/o it. I did use the vinegar & added a bit of salt + a generous amt of lemon pepper as a pers pref. We liked this a lot, iewe. Thx for posting the recipe for us. *Edited to Add* that 1 of the beauties of potato salad is that it can be made ahead, left to chill & almost always improves w/it. *But* care should be taken not to add the cheese till just b4 serving to avoid a mushy cheese effect. :-)

This was quick and easy to put together! I made 1/2 the recipe using red creamer potatoes that I quartered and I did add the cider vinegar. Was creamy but a little bland so I did season with salt and pepper and it was great! Made for ZWT6 Germany.

I made half recipe. I steamed the diced potatoes. I used light mayonnaise. I thought I had cheddar but no. So I used smoked monterey jack cheese. I didn't use the apple cider vinegar. This potato salad is very yummy and creamy. Thanks Iewe :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT
