Potato salad and summer cookouts go hand in hand. No outdoor picnic or barbecue would be complete without the starchy side. It's a traditional side dish that comes in all different varieties—from tangy potato salad with mustard vinaigrette to fluffy, perfect potato salad with mashed spuds.
But there’s something about the mayo-based kind that just screams classic potato salad. Our version of creamy red potato salad is loaded with crunchy celery, bits of crispy bacon, and fresh dill. It’s easy to make and the best part is that you can make it ahead of time—great for picnic side dishes or family potlucks.
What makes or breaks a potato salad is whether there’s lots of flavor incorporated into the dish. Otherwise, potatoes can be quite bland and boring. That won’t be a problem with this red potato salad recipe.
