Tips:
- For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked and won't get mushy.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not too soft. You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they should still have a little bit of resistance.
- While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon and hard-boiled eggs. This will save you time later on.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Then, peel and dice them.
- In a large bowl, combine the potatoes, bacon, eggs, celery, onion, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the potato salad chilled, garnished with fresh parsley.

Seven-layer potato salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and barbecues. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. This recipe is easy to follow and can be tailored to your own preferences. For example, you can add or omit vegetables, such as carrots or peas, or you can use a different type of dressing.
