- 5 lbs Russet Potatoes
- 1 small container of plain yogurt
- 1 cup of mayonaise
- 3 tbs salad dressing
- 2 tbs sour cream
- 1/2 lb bacon, fried and cooled
- 4 stalks of celery
- 1 bunch green onions
- 4 hard boiled eggs
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil in salted water. Cool.
- Mix about 3/4 of the yogurt, mayonnaise, and salad dressing. You could omit the salad dressing and use mustard if you wanted.
- Dice bacon, celery, green onions and hard boiled eggs. Add to the cooled potatoes. Mix thoroughly.
- Add enough of the mayonnaise yogurt mixture as necessary to reach the desired consistancy. If storing overnight before serving, add a little more of the wet ingredients than you think necessary so it will still be moist when serving.
This is a recipe I developed a couple years ago. The yogurt thins out the mayonnaise and keeps the salad moist. Ingredients can be added/deleted as your individual taste requires. I considered adding a little cheddar cheese, maybe as a garnish, to make it truly a "loaded" potato.
I also wanted to report that this week's cooking of potatoes did not result in any kind of fire or necessitate using the extinguisher. Success.
Just this evening I made potato salad to take with me to a pitch-in party tomorrow. If only I'd had your recipe, I would have added the bacon and yogurt! Everything else was similar...
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I think there are several vegetarians there, so maybe they'll appreciate a bacon-free version. But boy does your recipe sound delicious to me!
