I'm in the craziest mood for potato salad this week! Does anyone have a recipe that they could share with me? I would prefer something that doesn't call for eggs or red onion. Thanks in advance for any recipes shared!Could someone share a good potato salad recipe?

10 - 12 Medium or small red potatoes

Add dip mix to sour cream, mix and set aside in fridge. Thinly slice green onions, including chives and set aside. Cook bacon until very crispy, drain, and set aside to be crumbled when adding to potatoes. Rinse and then boil the red potatoes, with the skins on, until tender when poked with a fork. Drain and then cut into bite size pieces. Add Hidden Valley-sour cream mixture, green onions with chives, and crumbled bacon pieces, saving some of the bacon to sprinkle on top. Mix gently, adding salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle top with remaining crumbled bacon. Serve cold or at room temp.Could someone share a good potato salad recipe?
This one is really creamy and filling. It has green onions in the recipe, but you can omit them if you want NO onions, and it will still be really good.

1 cup chopped fresh parsley


1-1/2 cups mayonnaise


1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream


1/4 cup Domino® or C%26amp;H® Granulated Pure Cane Sugar


1/4 cup vinegar


4 teaspoons ground mustard


1 teaspoon salt


Directions:


In a large bowl, combine potatoes and parsley. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Pour over potatoes and mix well. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Salad can be prepared a day ahead.

Red Potato Salad





2 cups red potatoes diced, cooked, drained, and chilled.


1/2 cup sourcream

Mix all ingredients together and serve!
Think all home made potato salad is good. Just google it for recipes. Can leave out onions if you do not like them or use a different type.
Sometimes I like slicing up green olives to add.
