Potato Salad with BaconOne of the most important tricks to making a this Potato Salad with Bacon or any potato salad is to make sure you chill your potatoes before you cut them up. Otherwise you will end up with mashed potato salad. That’s why I really like to make sure I cook my potatoes a day ahead and chill them in the refrigerator overnight.
