Ingredients
- 2 pounds small potatoes
- 5 large eggs
- 3 stalks celery, minced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water.
- While potatoes are cooking, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
- Place 3 eggs into a large bowl and mash them in the bowl with a fork. Stir in celery, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Cook bacon slices in the microwave until crisp, about 4 minutes. Crumble 2 bacon slices into egg-mayonnaise mixture.
- Peel and chop cooled potatoes; stir into the bowl until salad is evenly combined. Slice remaining 2 eggs and arrange on top of salad. Crumble remaining 2 bacon slices over egg slices, then sprinkle with parsley.
- You can also cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Yummy
I liked the eggy taste of this potato salad and will make again. Thank you.
Very good. It was much better the day after. Which isn’t uncommon for potato salad.
My grown kids and I really liked it….my husband said he liked the plainer one I used to make better. But he doesn’t like eggs, so I just put them around the edges for everyone else.
This is the best potato salad recipe I have ever tasted and have ever made. I do not change recipes then rate them, so I make this exactly as written and get RAVE reviews from all who eat it. Readernut gave us a great one in this recipe!
best potato salad every! Add some pickle tastes amazing
it was a good starting base as written. i made as was but thought needed more flavor so next time i made it i added dill and some vinegar. also was a little dry so added just a smidge more mayo as well. it was wel received at bbq i took it to
This turned out good, nice and fresh, but could have used a little zing (maybe a touch of balsamic vinegar?).
Really great basic recipe. I added a few extra slices of bacon and a touch extra of Dijon per my taste. I’ve made this recipe about 5 times and everyone loves it!!
Turned out amazing. This was my first attempt at homemade potato salad. I used red potatoes and it was a big hit!
This is hands down the best potato salad I have ever had. Any time we have a family get together or a work function I am requested to bring my potato salad. Even had to make an extra bowl cause people wanted to take some home. Its that good.
My family loved it!
I am giving it a 5 stars because I know it would be delicious as is, but I did not have red potatoes, so I used the regular ones. I probably added more bacon than 3 slices, and I didn’t put any eggs in. I took it to a BBQ and even with all the changes, people loved it. Would definitely make again!
I brought this to a family party and everyone seemed to like it. The original dressing though was incredibly thick and heavy. Even adding about a half cup of milk didn’t thin it out to the consistency I preferred. It tasted great though all the same, and there weren’t any leftovers.
no
this is so good love the eggs with the mayo for dressing. and the bacon is a great flavor with it
Made this salad last weekend for the first time. Wow. Simply amazing and very tasty!!
It was great! I followed the suggestions by Frantic Cook, and wilted the celery a little by adding a little salt and let the water out for a little while, as I learned from another potato salad recipe. Very filling and creamy, the red potatoes add a little crunch to it.
Added whole grain dijon mustard and green beans. Also threw in the celery greens from the stalks as well. You could easily add chopped chicken to make this a complete meal.
Eliminated celery, just didn’t have it on hand, added chopped onion, chopped dill pickle and a bit of dill pickle juice. Replaced Dijon with Horseradish mustard and added some paprika. Bowl was scraped clean and I had lots of compliments. Will make this again.
Everybody loves it!
