Creamy Dreamy Potato Salad

SERVES: 6 to 8

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate all the goodness that we discovered in the Dairy aisle than with this easy-as-can-be deli salad. No need to cook, peel, and cut potatoes and eggs, since we started this recipe with lots of supermarket shortcuts. And what makes this so dreamy ‘n’ creamy is the onion dip, but let’s keep that as our little secret.

What You'll Need

1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated diced potatoes with onions
3 tablespoons water
4 refrigerated peeled, hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
4 crispy cooked bacon slices, crumbled
1 cup onion dip

What to Do

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, place potatoes and water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 7 to 8 minutes or until fork-tender. Let cool slightly.
Add egg, bell pepper, celery, salt, and pepper; mix well. Stir in cheese, bacon, and onion dip and mix until thoroughly combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Test Kitchen Tip

The key to really good potato salad is to make sure you mix the dressing (in this case the onion dip) with the potatoes while they are still warm, but not piping hot. It brings all the flavors together. Yum, Yum, Yum!
