List of Ingredients




If your potato salad needs a break from traditional flavors, try these: Hot bacon dressing; buttermilk dressing and chili-lime dressing. Each makees enough to coat about 2 ½ pounds of potatoes cut into bite-size pieces, with four hard-boiled eggs (diced) and ½ cup chopped celery. Combine the dressing with the potatoes while they're still warm to allow the spuds to absorb the flavors.

Hot bacon dressing

½ pound sliced bacon

¼ cup minced white onion

¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

¼ cup white wine vinegar

1 ½ tablespoons Creole mustard

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper

In a frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp; drain on paper towel. Reserve 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon drippings. Add onion to the pan and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper flakes. Whisk in the vinegar, mustard and oil.

Pour the hot dressing over the potatoes, eggs and celery. Season with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon and sprinkle on top. Serve warm.


Buttermilk dressing

¾ cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup buttermilk

4 tablespoons Creole mustard

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons white wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

Blend ingredients in a small bowl. Toss with potatoes, eggs and celery until well coated. Chill and serve.



This dressing works well with white or sweet potatoes in any combination that does not include eggs. You may substitute parsley if you can't find cilantro.

Chili-lime dressing

1/3 cup olive oil

3 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon ground cumin

¼ cup minced fresh cilantro

Salt and pepper

4 scallions, finely chopped

In a small bowl whisk olive oil and lime juice; then whisk in chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper. Pour over scallions and blend well. Pour mixture over potatoes and toss gently. Serve warm, or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
