Non-Traditional Potato Salad - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
8 large red potatoes (white potatoes may be used)
6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 lb bacon
1 large white onion, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups mayonnaise (I use Kraft)
1/4 cup mustard
8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (I use mild)
Preparation
-
Wash, peel and boil potatoes in salted water (about 1 tablespoon or less) until very tender. Place grated cheese in a big bowl. Add potatoes and toss. Let cool.
Microwave the bacon until tender. Drain grease into a bowl and reserve. Crumble the bacon.
Saute the onions in bacon grease until tender. Save the bacon grease.
In a food processor process cream cheese, mayo, mustard, milk and bacon drippings.
In the large bowl containing the potato/cheese mixture, combine the eggs, onion and bacon. Add the mayo mixture to potato mixture and toss.
Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight before serving.
