Thanks for saying no low fat... and adding extra bacon. I'll give it a whirl.

The picture looks like your ordinary potato salad. The ingredients are common potato salad ingredients. What makes this recipe extraordinary is the choreography of the ingredients. Mixing the onions, celery, parsley, pickles and bacon just before serving changes the flavor which would have been more subdued if everything were mixed together at once. The color was also enhanced. I made a similar potato salad a couple of weeks ago using country ham in place of the bacon, but mixed everything together at once and let it set in the icebox for awhile before serving. Now I have to go back and try your method. I can already taste the difference.

Thank you for the recipes...and the style in which you write. Refreshing.

I may be alone in my amazement at this potato salad, but do give it a try. Pretty, different and yummy. It was served at a buffet lunch in Tahiti after a day of snorkeling. I have invented new versions based on the original recipe, but here is all it was:
Tahitian Pink Potato Salad
White potatoes
red onion
Best Foods Mayo (she made me promise!)
Canned beets - julienne strips - or fresh cooked
crispy canned corn

Do try it. Enjoy!

I am not a fan of pickles in the salad, so I find that a little bit of red wine vinegar gives it that little extra kick. Bacon looks interesting. Will have to give it a try!!

Great recipe! I varied it by substituting a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for the pickles, adding 4 hard-boiled eggs, and cubing my potatoes before cooking. I think the golden Yukons make best potato salad.

Very wonderful! I found the flavors of the green onions to really 'pop' after a few days of the left overs sitting in the fridge. The second time I made it, I decided to add the onion in with the potatoes and sour cream/mayo mixture to mellow overnight. Made a big flavor difference. I do like the idea of adding the few ingredients in at the last minute; the crispy bacon adds a nice touch!

Love the site!

This is excellent except for the Dill pickles. Pickles yes, but Gerkins not Dill. You would be amazed the difference it makes.

I saw this potato salad recipe and felt that my own family's extremely quick and simple version might be worth mentioning.

Ingredients:
1 bag New/baby potatoes
1/2 jar "Real" mayonnaise
3 eggs
Small tin of anchovies
Salt & pepper to taste

1. Boil potatoes; about 15-20 minutes should work. Boil eggs semi-hard.
2. Cut up potatoes (leave the skin on), and peel and cut up the eggs.
3. Shred 4-5 anchovies by hand.
4. Mix all ingredients in bowl.
5. Add some salt and pepper, as desired.

Et voila! A tasty, but not necessarily healthy, side-dish, providing enough for five or six people.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned using red potatoes in any potato salad recipe. Let me know what you think. :o)

Everyone in my family is vegetarian, so we all love salads. recently we made this variation of potato salad: cubed, boiled potatoes+sweet peas+chopped pickles+steamed carrots+steamed beet(s)+mayonnaise. You can also substitute the beet with boiled eggs and olives. It's amazing, hope you try it :)
