BACON BLUE CHEESE POTATO SALAD
I'm not crazy about potato salad, but this one is definitely the exception. It's creamy and the flavor is wonderful. I got the recipe from my friend Devon, who got it from somebody else. Don't be put off by the blue cheese - the flavor is not overwhelming at all. I didn't know it had blue cheese until I asked for the recipe.

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes, hold their shape better when cooked and are less likely to fall apart in the salad.
- Cook the potatoes and corn properly: To ensure that the potatoes and corn are cooked through but not overcooked, boil them separately until tender.
- Use high-quality bacon: Thick-cut bacon adds a smoky, savory flavor to the salad. Cook the bacon until crispy, but not burnt.
- Choose a good blue cheese: A creamy, flavorful blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola, will add a tangy kick to the salad.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The sherry vinaigrette can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Toss the salad gently: To avoid breaking up the potatoes and corn, toss the salad gently with the dressing.
Conclusion:
Potato and corn salad with bacon, blue cheese, and sherry vinaigrette is a delicious and easy-to-make summer salad. With its combination of sweet corn, creamy potatoes, smoky bacon, tangy blue cheese, and flavorful dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
