Servings:

Ingredients

1/2 pound bacon (add more if desired)
5 pounds potatoes
12 eggs
1 medium onion, minced
radishes, sliced
1 jar salad dressing - 30 oz.
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons sugar
Salad Supreme, to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

PREP

2 hrs

COOK

30 mins

READY IN

2.5 hrs

Fry bacon, blot off excess grease with a paper towel, and then crumble into pieces; set aside.
Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks, put in a large pot, cover with water, and boil until just tender when poked with a fork. Do not overcook! Drain well and allow to cool.
While the potatoes are cooking you can boil the eggs to make hard boiled eggs. When done cooking the eggs, drain and cover with cold water to cool them down.
Once the potatoes are cooled, slice into thick pieces and place in a large bowl.
Peel the eggs, rinse, and cut in half. Remove the yolk and place on a separate plate. Dice the egg whites and add to the potatoes. Mash the yolks slightly to eliminate chunks and then add to the potatoes and egg whites.
Add the minced onions. Clean and slice radishes and add to the other ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the salad dressing, mustard, and sugar; mix thoroughly and add to the potatoes and eggs.
Stir dressing into other ingredients until everything is evenly coated; sprinkle lightly with Salad Supreme and add salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the crumbled bacon.
Taste test and adjust salad supreme, sugar, salt and pepper as needed for your personal taste.
Chill in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.

Note: The potato salad can be made up 1 to 2 days ahead of time and then be refrigerated until serving.

"I made this for a graduation party for my niece this last weekend. Didn't know if I liked it right after I made it but after it sat overnight it was great. Everyone loved the bacon in it. I got lots of compliments."

"This was the first time I attempted to make potato salad. I used this recipe and it came out pretty good. I was proud of myself. I thought it would be harder but this recipe was great. Everyone thought it was almost as good as my mom's."
