In just under 30 minutes, you'll be savoring this hearty Warm Potato Salad with Bacon. This comfort food classic is elevated with the addition of crispy, savory bacon. Packed with creamy potatoes, smoky bacon bits, and a zippy dressing, this is an easy-to-follow recipe that promises a flavor-packed side dish.

I think that there are two kinds of cooks: those who go in with a plan and a carefully shopped grocery list and those who just go into the kitchen and wing it.

Although I certainly have the ability to make a meal on the fly, I am most certainly a planner.

That is why I was kind of surprised at myself a few weeks ago when I bought some pretty tomatoes (perfect for this Tomato Salad) and a bag of potatoes with absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them.
It became a challenge to me, to see where my intuitive cooking would take me, and I have to say, it was fun. This is one of my favorite potato salad recipes....EVER.  And from a southern girl who has had more than her fair share of potato salad, that is saying a lot!

This is a perfect dish to put on the menu for your July 4th!

Notes

This potato salad has quite a bit of liquid. I like this because it keeps the leftovers moist, but if you are entertaining you may wish to drain a bit of it off.
