Description

A delicious and creamy turkey bacon potato salad made with tender russet potatoes, savory turkey bacon, fresh veggies, and a tangy homemade dressing. Perfect for picnics, BBQs, or easy family dinners.


Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped

2 celery stalks, diced

¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

6 slices cooked turkey bacon, crumbled

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

1 cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon paprika


Instructions

  1. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and cool.

  2. Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, eggs, celery, red onion, bacon, and chives.

  4. Fold in dressing gently until evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  5. Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with chives or paprika if desired.

Notes

  • For a lighter salad, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
  • Adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley can elevate the flavor.
  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for a creamier texture if preferred.
