Really good potato salad for those of us who like non-mustardy potato salad. I used Dijon mustard instead of Creole mustard, and regular mayo and sour cream instead of reduced fat...also used the pre-packaged real bacon pieces for recipes which can be found in the salad aisle - so much easier. The flavors were great...next time I will use a bit more of the mayo and sour cream as I prefer a creamier texture. I served this at a family gathering with pork tenderloin and it was a hit. Once it sits in the fridge it gets a little less creamy as the potatoes stick together but it still tasted good the next day...we only had a few leftovers.08/21/08

This potato salad ROCKS. I used regular mayo instead of the light version that the recipe calls for, and used low-fat sour cream instaed of full-fat. I also couldn't find creole mustard, so I used Dijon. You could easily double, or even tripple the amount of bacon this recipe calls for, but you could just as easily leave it out all together. Either way, this is one of my new favorite potato salad recipes. My husband, who normally doesn't like creamy style potato salads raved about this one.03/02/08
