You can make this with leftover baked potatoes or freshly boiled
potatoes like any other spud salad recipe. I prefer to chill it halfway through the process. The
flavors better meld. Just before serving stir in the "garnishes", and adjust "dressing".
.
4 cups of cooked potatoes, with or without skin, chopped
3-4 diced sweet pickles
1/4-1/2 finely diced onion (preferably sweet)
2-3 hard boiled eggs, diced
1 c mayo
1 c sour cream
1 t yellow mustard
salt and pepper to taste (kosher and fresh cracked black)
dash or two of garlic powder
several large dashes of chili powder
crisply cooked bacon cut into bite size pieces
1/2-1 c shredded cheddar cheese (sharp)
fresh minced chives or green onion
.
Mix mayo, sour cream, mustard and dry seasonings in large bowl. Add in potatoes, onion, pickles
and eggs. Stir to coat. Allow to chill for atleast 30 minutes, up to several hours. Before serving,
stir in bacon and cheese. Sprinkle top liberally with chives. When adding the "garnishes", check to see if
you need to add more "dressing". If you like it a bit more creamy, add mayo and sour cream equally, 1 teaspoon
at a time.
