French Onion Potato Salad

I love potato salad. I actually am one of “those” people who will eat it as their main dish at a barbecue. Skip the meat; pass the potatoes. And French onion dip makes me weak in the knees. It has always been the one item I search the food table for at parties. And if I see it, well, I pretty much will sit by it the entire night.

My husband was going to make his famous BBQ-rib tinfoil dinners, so I needed to bring some sort of salad, and I instantly knew it would be French Onion Potato Salad instead. With 5 main ingredients, it was easy to make, and well, I took little nibbles – or spoonfuls if I’m being honest, along the way.

I never thought potato salad could get any better. Well, it did my friends. This French Onion Potato Salad is so delicious and creamy, and I just can’t wait for our next camp trip, party or picnic so I can make this recipe again. Cheers to summer, camp trips and rockin’ potato salads.

How do you make French Onion Potato Salad?

Place potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and add salt if desired. Bring to a boil and let them simmer 8-12 minutes, or until potatoes are barely tender and easy to pierce with a knife or fork.

In a small mixing bowl, add and stir together Kraft French Onion Dip, plain yogurt, and mustard. Set aside.

Drain the potatoes and let cool. Once cooled add the yogurt mixture and stir together to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add in crumbled bacon and chives and fold in to incorporate.

Cover and set in the fridge until ready to serve.
