ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups mayonnaise
- 1⁄2 cup coarse grain mustard or 1/2 cup mustard, your favorite
- 1⁄4 cup cider vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 lb bacon
- 5 lbs white potatoes, peeled if desired, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
- 4 stalks celery, sliced thin
- 6 green onions, sliced thin
- 1 1⁄2 cups red onions, chopped
- 9 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
directions
- Whisk mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and garlic in medium bowl to blend.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover, chill.
- Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Crumble.
- Boil potatoes in large pot until just tender.
- Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- Cool for 15 minutes or so.
- Mix bacon, celery, green and red onions, eggs and dressing into potatoes.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Chill.
- Note: I usually hold back about ¾ cup of the dressing to toss with salad just before serving.
- While chilling the potatoes soak up a good bit of the dressing and if not careful it can become dry. If this happens just moisten with a small amount of milk and stir to encorporate.

OMG!!! This is now going to be the ONLY potato salad I'm ever going to make!! Just delicious! The only change I made is to mash 2 of the eggs (didn't hard boil them completely so there was runny yolks) and added them to the dressing before mixing together. I also kept a little dressing to add just before serving, as I prefer a "wetter" potato salad. YUM YUM !!!

The only potato salad I make now. It does make a huge portion so I usually either halve or quarter it. I get request at all summer functions to bring this delicious salad. I have some no pork eating family members and let me tell you turkey bacon or no bacon works just as well. Oh and if you let it sit overnight the flavour is even more incrdible.
