Super Deluxe Garden Potato Salad

Submitted by Harley Seashell Pri

"This is truly my own creation. I despised traditional potato salads lacking in color and flavor. My aunt inspired me with hers and then I took it to another level! If you love plenty of vegetables, dijon mustard, bacon and hard-boiled eggs then please give this one a try!"

Made this for a garden birthday party for 20 people. BIG Hit! Doubled everything except the mayo and mustard. Plenty of dressing for double the potatoes and veggies! Got multiple requests for MY recipe :)

Great recipe--a bit complex (anything that gets 3 pots/pans dirty is complex to me)--but the results are well worth it! I made this for a holiday barbecue, and everyone loved it, myself included. I subbed turkey bacon and left out the radishes, but there's still plenty of interest and it's fairly bursting with flavor. I'll make this one again!

Her Highness has a winner here! This is your basic homestyle potato salad kicked up a notch with the tasty and crunchy additions of carrots and radishes. I sliced my carrots paper thin and they helped to add just the right crunch and color. I used 4 slices of bacon because I live with a bacon hound who always demands "More Bacon!" lol. Love it, Princess! I know the leftovers will be even tastier with tomorrow night's supper!
