Potato Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and Bacon
"This potato salad has tons of flavor! When I made this I increased the dressing ingredients slightly. Plan ahead the cooked potatoes need to chill until cold, and the complete salad needs to chill for a minimum of 4 hours, even better if chilled overnight."

This was an amazing potato salad. I loved the addition of the roasted red peppers. This is a great addition to any summer BBQ or potluck! -
Wonderful Kitten! I love the fact that it has roasted red peppers, the more the merrier! Then you add bacon, Dijon and potatoes - what can be bad? It is outrageous! I have had many kinds of potato salad through the years but this takes the cake. Can you tell that I liked this? Thanks for a real winner, Diane :=) -
Made this for a July 4 BBQ. I followed the recipe completely. Would like a little more 'crunch' and the dressing to have a little more kick to it . . . maybe add the vinegar or lemon juice to the dressing instead of directly on the potatoes. I'll experiment the next time. Thanks for sharing -
This went down well at a weekend luncheon meeting with 9 guests. Since I knew that many people are not fans of raw onion, I sliced them into 8ths (like mini wedges) and roasted them alongside the red peppers. It certainly made the dish less sharp,and we liked it that way. This was popular but not so popular that the dish was wiped clean, so Please see my rating system, I think that this deserves and wonderful 4 stars:) Thanks !
