DEVILED EGG POTATO SALAD WITH BACON



Deviled Egg Potato Salad With Bacon image

I just made this up as I looked at a couple other recipes and put them all together to come up with one GREAT potato salad! The pickles and bacon sound like they wouldnt taste right together but trust me, they really make this salad pop!

Provided by Danielle1987

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs of baby yellow potatoes, cut into halves
6 hard-boiled eggs
8 slices bacon, fully cooked and crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise (more or less to taste, I used about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon mustard
granulated garlic
granulated onion
salt and pepper
4 pickles, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon pickle juice (from jar)

Steps:

  • Cut potatoes into halves and boil until almost done (don't want them to fall apart). Drain potatoes.
  • Put potatoes into medium size bowl. While they are still warm, add salt and pepper and the granulated garlic and onion (however much you prefer for taste) and lemon juice and toss potatoes. Set aside.
  • Cut hard boiled eggs in half and take the yoke out and set aside in a small bowl. Cut the whites in little chunks and add to bowl with the potatoes.
  • Cut pickles into pieces (as small or big as you prefer) and add to potatoes.
  • Use fork and smoosh the yokes until you have gotten most of the lumps out. Add the mayo, mustard, some more granulated garlic and onion (easy on both of these as to not overpower the end flavor), pickle juice and pepper. Mix all together in small bowl.
  • Add yoke/mayo mixture to potatoes. Mix well.
  • Add the cooked and crumbled bacon and toss lightly.
  • Cover and chill (or eat right away if you cant wait like I did!) :-).
  • It's also very good with the pre-cubed pre-cooked grilled chicken pieces you can buy at the store.
  • The best way to serve this potato salad is chilled but I took a taste and couldn't wait to eat it and it was still very good right after it was made! I hope you enjoy! Please let me know if you like it!

BACON AND EGG POTATO SALAD BY NOR



Bacon and Egg Potato Salad By Nor image

I have been making my potato salad this way for years. It has been served at many cook outs, and have had many requests for my recipe. I watched my Mom make it growing up, and I added my own little twist through the years. My husband once told me he never liked potato salad. Until, he had my potato salad. If you like Egg Potato...

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 medium russet or idaho potatoes cut in to 6th 's
8 hard boiled eggs chopped chunky
3-4 long stalks of celery chopped
1/2 1/2 of a medium sweet onion such as vadahlia
1 1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 Tbsp basil
1 1/4 c mayonnaise hellman's or dukes
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 lb cooked bacon ( i use apple cider cured) you can use any bacon of choice

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and peel potatoes. Cut each potato in to 6- 8 pieces. I try not to cut my potatoes to small. When you mix in the mayo etc. The potatoes fall apart some. That way I still get good size chunks. Not mushy potatoes.
  • 2. Boil the 8 eggs to hard boil stage at the same time as the potatoes. When potatoes are just tender enough to stick a fork in . Do not over cook. You still want them to be a bit firm. Remove from heat,and soak in cold water to stop them from cooking. Drain and put in fridge in a large bowl.
  • 3. Peel the eggs after they are cooked and cooled in cold water. Chop the eggs. Not real small. You want some chunkiness. Chop the celery,and onion.Fry the bacon until crisp,and set aside.
  • 4. Salt and pepper the potatoes. Toss well. Mix the Mayonnaise,, and mustard with the eggs, celery, onion, paprika,, basil and parsley flakes.
  • 5. mix in egg mixture to the potatoes. Coat well to combine. At this time, if your potatoes hold nice,and you want the pieces smaller. Go ahead and chop them up a little more. if desired. I usually just take my mixing spoon,and cut in to some of them, and stir.
  • 6. Refrigerate for a few hours. Let the flavors blend. Take out of fridge,and stir.Your option: Give it a taste. Some mayonnaise may have absorbed in to the potatoes. At this time if you prefer. Add a little more mayonnaise to make it a bit more creamy. Before serving. Top with half the crisp crumbled bacon. and serve. I keep a dish with the rest of the crumbled bacon nearby. Anyone who wants extra bacon on their potato salad can sprinkle it on it. It is so good!!!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bacon: The bacon is the star of this salad, so it's important to use a good quality bacon that is thick-cut and has a good flavor.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: Crispy bacon adds a nice texture and flavor to the salad.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good choice for this salad because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: A mayonnaise-based dressing is a classic choice for potato salad, and it helps to bind the ingredients together.
  • Add some celery and red onion: Celery and red onion add a nice crunch and flavor to the salad.
  • Season the salad to taste: Be sure to season the salad to taste with salt and pepper.

Conclusion:

Bacon egg potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is also a great way to use up leftover bacon and potatoes.
