A couple of my siblings were raving about this "potato salad" they had had. They even claimed that it rivaled our mother's, which if you have had my mother's potato salad you would know that that is virtually impossible! So I tried the infamous tater salad and they were right it was good BUT mom's is still so much better. So I've been thinking about this sinister salad and have decided to give it a go. I think that I could possibly get this salad up to snuff with mom's, with a little tweaking here and there :) I will have a recipe to follow if all goes well!
Ok, so I made the potato salad and I must say that I wasn't very happy with it. I had a mom moment and forgot what I was doing and then added the wrong type of onion (I wanted to add chives, instead I put yellow onion and green onion). The other thing that I did and should have left alone was the amount of bacon. I started with a little under a 1/2 pound of bacon and then I got greedy and put the whole pound in. This made the salad TO SALTY..... The next thing that went wrong was that I ran out of sour cream for the dressing so there wasn't enough dressing to help cut through the salt. The final kicker was that I under cooked the potatoes and there is nothing worse than crunchy potatoes in a potato salad......
So attempt number one was a flop, but I will get this right and then you all can give it a go for yourselves!
