Potato Salad With Sour Cream and Bacon image

Mom always added sour cream, bacon and bacon drippings to her potato salad and folks loved it. I've dressed it up a little, adding celery, different spices and more eggs than she did. Mom, of course, never measured. In order to post I measured all the ingredients and must say I have given mom a run for her money. Hope you enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use waxy potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes, hold their shape better when cooked and are less likely to become mushy in the salad.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still have a bite to them: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and break apart in the salad.
  • Use a good quality sour cream: The sour cream is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a sour cream that is thick and creamy, with a slightly tangy flavor.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way in this salad. If you add too much dressing, the salad will become soggy and lose its flavor.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be more refreshing.

Conclusion:
