Bacon Blue Cheese Potato Salad

By Addie

"I'm not crazy about potato salad, but this one is definitely the exception. It's creamy and the flavor is wonderful. I got the recipe from my friend Devon, who got it from somebody else. Don't be put off by the blue cheese - the flavor is not overwhelming at all. I didn't know it had blue cheese until I asked for the recipe."

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 lbs red potatoes, cut into eighths
• 5 slices bacon
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4 green onions, chopped

Just fabulous. I used Yukon Golds, which soaked up a little more dressing, so I had to make more at serving and was out of sour cream. I substituted some blue cheese dressing we had for the sour cream in the second batch (plus, I think I used too many potatoes). But the taste of this is fabulous, exactly like the taste of the blue cheese deli potato salad up here, without the chemicals!/Next night: okay, folks, we are here fighting over the leftovers. Fabulous the first night, but the second night it is to die for!! This goes in "the book".

FAB! FAB! FAB! No tweaking required. Great spin from the traditional mayo/pickle/onion potato salad! Use a good blue cheese - I like Maytag

This was good and we enjoyed it. I will use stilton cheese next time to give it a little more flavor as well as some cayenne pepper. Thanks for a good recipe! Shadows

Soooo loved this. I am not a fan of mustard popato salad, and this was the perfect alternaive. I actually added extra bleu cheese because I love it. Made as written the bleu cheese flavor is subtle as noted in the description. So very good, thanks for posting! A new favorite!

I enjoy this salad. It's quick and easy. Have you ever thought about adding dill weed? Tasty!

Wow, I made a half recipe for my husband and self. Very good. Only added a little celery and some bacon crumbled.

We loved this!! Will definitely make again. Thanks!!

While I LOVE potato salad, I just tolerate blue cheese. Somehow though I've always imagined blue cheese and potato salad together would be a match made in heaven and you know what? It is! I think this is just the best potato salad I've had in ages and I can imagine it being very addictive. Green onions cost the earth at the moment where I am, so I used a quarter red onion and a couple of tablespoons of chopped parsley in my half recipe.

This salad is delicious! The only problem is now all my friends and family beg me to make all the time!

My head was starting to swell from all the compliments I got on this salad. Thank you!

Excellent potato salad! You can sub out the mayo for low fat and the sour cream for low fat to cut the calorie and fat content without sacrificing taste. Truly awesome!
