Cheese? Bacon? Potatoes? Obviously, this Creamy BBQ Bacon Potato Salad is good stuff, kids.  It goes perfectly with anything you are grilling this summer, and it’s so easy to make!Â
I didn’t add a whole lot of extras to this potato salad because all of the flavors are so bold on their own. I love the celery for some crunch and the crisp chewiness of the bacon. Feel free to add in any of your favorite potato salad mix in though! Peppers or corn would be yummy!
The sauce is sweet, tangy, and so creamy! I love using Greek yogurt instead of mayo in a lot of recipes to make them a little healthier.  One of my twins loved this salad so much, he had it for dinner 2 nights in a row. I mean this was his dinner! I figured all of the food groups are covered, so I let him have it 🙂
Enjoy!

Gonna try it with chicken instead of potatoes but the original version with potatoes still sounds great.

I just made this potato salad for Father’s Day supper. Husband is traveling tomorrow. This is amazing. I added green onions, red bell pepper, a little extra celery, extra bacon, a little smoked paprika, and a little less cheese than the recipe called for. It is AMAZING. I am a potato salad junkie. My son said this was his favorite. Stephanie, I also love fashion, shopping, cookies for breakfast, and I have curly hair. I am thinking you are from the South. I am originally from the South.

Potato salad is always a favorite at summertime barbecues and I can imagine that the bacon makes this one disappear even faster!

They’re crazy about potato salad here in Germany but it also looks so bland to me. This, though?! Oh my. This looks perfect! SO much better than the regular kind. 🙂

My sister and I have been talking about making potato salads this summer (as in I needed one yesterday!!) She will love this one as it has her two favourites: bacon and BBQ sauce!

What a great twist on potato salad! I love subbing greek yogurt for mayo when I can too. It makes such a heartier sauce and I feel good about it! 🙂
