As a kid, my mother always served the same store-bought potato salad. It came in a silo-sized tub and looked more like a jell-o mold than a summertime salad. This is not that potato salad. The red potatoes add a splash of color and play up the salty bacon and creamy buttermilk play nicely. You can substitute the milk with a few tablespoons of red wine vinegar for a little kick. This recipe is likely to become your new picnic classic.
Ingredients:
3 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
1 pound bacon, chopped
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 red onion, diced
½ cup fresh dill, chopped
