SOUTHERN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Category: Potato Salads

8 large (or 10 medium) potatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped celery and sweet onion
2 tsp sweet relish
1 tsp mustard
1/4 lb cooked bacon, crumbled
3 hard boiled eggs
1 tsp celery seed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dill weed and paprika
Salt and pepper to taste

Boil potatoes until a fork pushed in a potato goes in with a slight resistance. Do not over cook. Set aside and allow to cool. Peel and cut cold potatoes into bite-sized chunks in a large bowl.

Add remaining ingredients, except eggs and paprika, and mix thoroughly. Mix gently to avoid ending up with mashed potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste as you mix. Garnish top with sliced boiled eggs and sprinkle lightly with paprika. Serves 6-8

For variety, use small red potatoes instead of regular potatoes and leave the skin on. Also, use red onions instead of regular onions. Remember to taste as you go with the salt and pepper and do not overdo the paprika.
