Great blue potato salad recipe! I've made it half a dozen times and never been disappointed. Tweaks were just 3: turkey bacon,1/2lb.,(for pork to loose fat and calories), Roquefort 4.5oz.or Danish Blue 4.5oz.in place of domestic blue for a upgrade,(use the cheese YOU like!) and last use only 2 green onions to allow more cheese flavor through. Chilling for 8hrs.will really bring out the flavors and you can always add more onion if you want. Make it. You'll like it. Make it now!

I'm not a fan of blue cheese at all, but bought some deli-made blue cheese/bacon potato salad for my boyfriend, tried a bite and really like it. So I figured if deli-made was good, homemade must be fantastic! Found this recipe, made it and we both LOVED it. He really raved about it. I followed others' suggestions to add more blue cheese than recipe calls for and also added more bacon (no such thing as too much bacon), and also added chopped celery for texture (I like crunchiness in my potato salad). At this moment, I'm making another batch (doubled recipe) to bring to a cookout tomorrow night. With this batch, I added extra green onions - didn't really taste them in the last batch, so adding a little more this time.

Just fabulous. I used Yukon Golds, which soaked up a little more dressing, so I had to make more at serving and was out of sour cream. I substituted some blue cheese dressing we had for the sour cream in the second batch (plus, I think I used too many potatoes). But the taste of this is fabulous, exactly like the taste of the blue cheese deli potato salad up here, without the chemicals!<br/>------------------------------------<br/>Wildheart's note the next night: okay, folks, we are here fighting over the leftovers. Fabulous the first night, but the second night it is to die for!! This goes in "the book".
