Grumpy loves when I have a side dish of potato salad in the summer. He loves it even more when I add bacon, dill, and jalapeno to it! Normally it will take a couple of days for us to finish up a recipe of potato salad, but not so with this one. Grumpy loves it so much that it has been known to be the only item on our dinner plate!
FAQ’s about this Recipe
You may use any potato you wish in this recipe! Red, White, and Blue Potatoes are not always readily available in all stores. I would hate to have you miss out on such deliciousness just because you couldn’t find the tri-color potatoes!
Absolutely! If you can’t take the heat (pun intended!), then dice up some green bell pepper to take its place. Don’t like green bell pepper? then feel free to leave it out of the recipe. It won’t hurt, I promise!
I love to use sour cream in this mayonnaise based dressing because it adds a freshness to the salad that compliments the fresh dill. It also cuts that “heavy” taste that mayonnaise can give a salad dressing.
