There is absolutely nothing wrong with a storebought potato salad! They are so convenient, and fast to grab on your way to a party! But sometimes, you just want something a little different. And that’s when you make your own Dilled Potato Salad!
If you can peel potatoes and boil water, you can make this potato salad. There is really nothing special in the preparation… except the love, of course! Well, and the bacon. Because bacon makes everything a little more special!
While the potatoes are cooking, you can cook a few slices of bacon in the oven. That’s the way that I can get bacon perfectly crispy every single time. And it means you don’t have to stand over the stove and get splattered with bacon grease while it’s cooking!
This easy potato salad can be served cold like a classic potato salad. But it’s also delicious warm! Mix it all together right before you want to eat, and serve it with some easy burgers while the potatoes are still warm. It’s the perfect side dish for a summer barbecue, a picnic, any kind of party, or just because!
Enjoy!
