I remember one time my sister in law telling me how she thinks it is wrong to put pickles into a potato salad. I have always put pickles in my potato salad and I thought what does she use instead? When she shared this recipe on her blog one day and I thought I had better give it a try to see if it is still good without the pickles.
Well she has me now convinced that this recipe is better! The secret ingredient: Bacon! The only thing I do a little different is to add a little sugar to mine. (I like it a little sweeter). I have since used this creamy potato salad recipe for my potato salad. I still will once in a while make my old potato salad with pickles, but for now my potato salad is pickle free!

Creamy Potato Salad
Author: Sugar n' Spice Gals
Recipe type: salad
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 13-15 small potatoes (I like yellow potatoes) peeled, cut and cooked.
- 8-10 hard boiled eggs chopped
- 4-5 celery stalks chopped
- 1 lb. bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1½ cups mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp. mustard
- 1 Tbsp. sugar (add to taste, I like a little sweeter)
- 5-7 shakes of salad supreme seasoning (about 2 tsp.)
Instructions
- Cook your potatoes. (Be careful not to over cook or they will turn mushy)
- Chop your boiled eggs. (I save 1 or 2 for garnish)
- Hint: If you use older eggs, eggs that are getting close to the expiration date on the carton, they will peel so much easier.)
- While potatoes and eggs are cooking, fry the bacon and chop the celery.
- In a large bowl combine the potatoes, bacon, celery and eggs.
- In a smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard and sugar.
- Combine with the potatoes. Add the salad supreme and stir the ingredients together.
- Keep chilled in the refrigerator till ready to serve
Notes
SUMMER HINT: DONT KEEP YOUR POTATO SALAD OUT OF THE FRIDGE FOR LONGER THEN A ½ HOUR. IT IS BEST TO SERVE IT ON A BOWL OF ICE.

This sounds ok. Like you I’m used to sweet pickles in my potato salad but will try this to see how it tastes. Not promising but will be openminded. Thanks for sharing.
