I think my obsession started with my mother’s delicious Creamy Potato Salad Recipe.  I just loved it.  I would fill myself up with the creamy potato salad and leave all the other food.  Of course this didn’t make my mother too happy, but secretly I think she was proud of herself for knowing how to make potato salad that was simply scrumptious.

This recipe is not my mom’s original creamy potato salad recipe.  It is close to it but not exactly the same.   This new potato salad recipe contains mayonnaise and bacon like my mom’s creamy potato salad, but it uses red potatoes where my mother used Russets. 

Despite this creamy potato salad recipe not being an exact duplicate of my mother’s recipe, it is still a quick, easy, and one of the best creamy potato salad recipes I have ever tasted.
