Bacon Potato Salad

Bacon goes with just about anything. And it definitely makes this salad pop even more.

This is almost like eating a baked potato. In fact, I think the next time I make it I'll add some cubed sharp cheddar cheese.

I kept the skins on the potatoes. I think it adds to the flavor (and makes it even more like a baked potato!). You do have to be careful (gentle) folding the ingredients together or you'll lose most of the skins off of the potatoes.

I found the original recipe here.
