Pretty simple.(this is a large recipe, so portion as you need).
One large red onion finely diced.
20 potatoes, boiled and then chopped.
6 to 8 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped.
A full pound of bacon, fried and then roughly chopped.
A bottle of italian dressing...if you want it really good, (which is to say, really bad for you) use bacon drippings, salt, pepper and vinegar instead. I don't do that anymore...
Mix all that up and refrigerate for 4 hours or more.
Just before serving, add 3-4 tablespn of mayonnaise and juice of one lemon.
toss and serve.

Interesting, but not my mom's best ever potato salad recipe. I gave it to oldgrayphag if you'd like a copy.
Might have to give one a whirl - thanks for posting!

I have one son that will not eat Potato salad if it's made with Mayo. I'll give this a try (with a lot less fat) and see if he will like it. |

I haven't done it, but omission of the mayo at the end shouldn't be a big deal. I like the mayo and lemon juice at serving. Gives it some fresh moisture and tang. I usually quarter that recipe for non-party times. Still works well. My mom always cut off the potato skins as well, but I prefer leaving them on. Your choice. I've also varied the potato from standard Russet to reds to Yukons. They all add some difference, but all work. |

Hoping to get the wife to make this today. I'll do some some smoked boneless chicken thighs.
My mom's recipe is more traditional but nothing like that crap you get at delis or in a tub at Costco.

YAY!! Wifey making a 1/3 batch. Using Kozlowski Farms 'old world Italian zesty herb' dressing, a local organic (pretty famous) producer of all things yummy. Doesn't contain oil but says if you like you can add extra virgin olive oil to it (which I did). Using applewood smoked uncured bacon. ETA: chilling now and just started the smoker. Can't wait to try your mom's recipe, Walt!  |

Walter, I like your mom's potato salad. It's very good. I wouldn't say better than my mom's, just different but equally good. Mom's are the best!!  |

3 very large potatoes, boiled and then chopped.
4 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped.
1 cup small diced (not fine) celery
1 cup small diced (not fine) red onion
2/3 cup Miracle Whip™
salt and pepper to taste
optional: 1 tbsp French's™ mustard
Don't overmix.
Pretty basic. The secret ingredient is the Miracle Whip™.
Don't use regular mayo.

Okay...I'm givin' it a try. Does it have to sit and stew for a bit in the fridge before eating or just roll it out? |

Just ate a bowl of it here. Kinda hard to stop eating it. I must confess though, you had me at bacon... It never occurred to me that bacon goes good in potato salad... Silly me, bacon goes good in everything!! |

Yeah..it's almost better the second day. My mom used to make it the night before for say, a 4th of July holiday or something like that. I'm going to try your mom's just to get the taste down...then maybe we should start tinkering with the two. They aren't terribly dissimilar. Change one to miracle whip at the end, add bacon to the other. We might come up with true potato salad greatness by messing a little with each. |

I would add celery to yours next time and maybe try the mustard and see how that turns out. The crunchiness of the celery is good counterpoint to the non-crunch of the taters and eggs. My mom would always make hers the night before too. Then we'd take it and the fried chicken she made the night before and spend the day in the park picnic style. Lots of fond memories picnicing in Chicagoland parks and at the zoo. |
