Potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and backyard barbecues. This versatile dish can be made with a variety of ingredients, but the most common include potatoes, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs. In this article, we will share three delicious potato salad recipes that are sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
Our first recipe is a classic potato salad with a creamy mayonnaise dressing. This recipe is simple to make and can be tailored to your liking by adding or omitting ingredients. For example, if you don't like celery, you can leave it out. If you want a more tangy flavor, you can add a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
Our second recipe is a bacon and parsley potato salad. This recipe is a bit more flavorful than the classic potato salad, thanks to the addition of bacon and parsley. The bacon adds a smoky flavor, while the parsley adds a fresh, herbaceous flavor.
Our third recipe is a German potato salad. This recipe is made with a vinegar-based dressing instead of a mayonnaise dressing. The vinegar gives the potato salad a tangy flavor that is perfect for summer. This recipe also includes mustard and onions, which add even more flavor.
No matter which recipe you choose, you are sure to enjoy this classic summer dish. So grab some potatoes and get started!

Steps:
- Put the potatoes and salt in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then drain. Pat dry.
- Meanwhile, put the bacon in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or a saute pan over medium-low heat, and cook until nearly all the fat has rendered and the bacon is crispy, aromatic, and browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined plate.
- Add the 1 to 2 tablespoons of butter or oil to the remaining bacon fat. Increase the heat to medium. Add the potatoes, positioning them in the pan so the cut sides get nice and brown. Cook turning only as needed until the potatoes are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir in the parsley, garlic, and bacon and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Serve.

Got this recipe from June 2009 issue of Real Simple. My boyfriend refuses to eat mayonnaise so I have to find a way to get around that and still serve my favorite dishes. I am very excited to try this! You can make this dish the night before but just wait until serving time to add the bacon so it is nice and crisp. Enjoy.

BACON AND SHALLOT POTATO SALAD
The German-style potato salad doesn't contain any mayonnaise, but is rich with bacon, whole-grain mustard and sweet fried shallots. It's best served warm while the bacon still glistens with fat, but is also nice at room temperature. Make it as close to serving time as possible. Or if you do make it ahead, consider popping it into the microwave for a minute or so just before serving.
