Special Potato Salad image

Vinegar and yogurt give this salad a refreshing tang that's unlike typical potato salads with heavy creamy dressings. My family loves the crispness of the onion and celery and the heartiness that comes from the eggs and crumbled bacon. -Page Alexander, Baldwin City, Kansas

This potato salad was a hit at my last potluck. Everyone loved it! I especially liked the fact that it's made with mayonnaise and mustard instead of sour cream. It's so much lighter and flavorful.
