Anybody have a good recipe for potato salad?

4 to 5 large potatoes


6-8 slices bacon


1/2 small onion chopped


about a cup mayonnaise depending on amount of potatoes (Not Miracle Whip)


1 cup frozen peas


salt/seasoning salt to taste





Boil the potatoes unpeeled until they are tender, poke with a fork to test. Peel and then cut into ';bite-size'; chunks. Fry the bacon until crisp. Put the potatoes in bowl, add mayo and stir till all the potatoes are covered. Crumble the bacon into the bowl, add the frozen peas (still frozen) and the onions. Mix it all together, taste, then add the salt. If the salad seems a little dry add more mayo to get the desired consistency.


This is pretty basic and Very easy, what i love is that you can always add or subtract based on taste. Enjoy!Anybody have a good recipe for potato salad?
