Creamy, delicious and packed with a secret ingredient that keeps everyone coming back for seconds, this is truly the best potato salad recipe for potlucks, barbecues and family dinners! With tender potatoes, crispy bacon and tangy dill pickle, this easy and delicious homemade side dish comes together fast and tastes even better after chilling!

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp. garlic powder (or more to taste)
1 tsp. onion powder or 1/2 onion, finely chopped (more to taste)
1 small dill pickle, diced into small pieces
3 eggs, hard-boiled and chopped
6 potatoes, peeled, cubed into small pieces and boiled
2 slices bacon, fried and crumbled or 1 Tbsp. bacon grease (optional)
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, and pickle in a large bowl.
  2. Add the eggs, warm potatoes, carrots and bacon or bacon grease, if desired.
  3. Mix well.
  4. Add salt, to taste.
  5. Mix well.
  6. Chill 1-2 hours before serving. If the potato salad seems dry, add a couple tablespoons of milk. Serves 10.

Notes

When making potato salad, add the dressing to warm potatoes for the best taste! Warm potatoes will absorb the flavor from the dressing while cool ones will not.
