Notes

  • This potato salad can be served warm or chilled. If serving chilled, cool the potatoes before adding the dressing.
  • If cooking raw bacon for this recipe, reserve a couple of tablespoons of bacon fat and drizzle it into the dressing for extra flavor.
  • If using purchased "real bacon bits" crisp them in a pan on the stove or in the microwave for a minute and let cool. 
  • Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream.
