Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs potatoes
  • 1 lb bacon
  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • bacon grease reserved from cooked bacon

Directions:

  1. You can use any potato you want, and you can keep the skins or peel them. I usually use red potatoes, leave the skins on and cut into bite sized pieces. Cook until tender, but not enough where they could be mashed potatoes.
  2. Cook the bacon. I usually cut this into bite sized pieces, and cook until done. Save the grease! This is very important. I remove the bacon from the grease to stop it from cooking.
  3. Cook the eggs so that they are hard-boiled.
  4. Let the potatoes and eggs cool. Peel the eggs, and cut them into small pieces.
  5. Mix everything together (including the bacon grease!). Celery salt can be potent, so do a little at a time until you like the taste. I used a good amount of mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Again, go with what tastes good.
  6. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
