Potato Salad

Potato Salad

A great salad to make in advance, to have great “on-the-go” salads for a week.

INGREDIENTS:

* 10 lbs. red potatoes
* 5 cups chopped bacon
* 1 ¼ cup chopped onion
* 2 ½ cup chopped celery
* 1 ¼ cup zesty salad Italian dressing
* 3 ½ cup mayonnaise
* 10 hard boiled eggs, chopped
* 4 teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large pot, cover potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 20-30 minutes. Strain potatoes. Once the potatoes have cooled, cut into 3/4 inch chunks.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, onion, celery, bacon and eggs; use a rubber spatula to gently fold to combine. Cover; refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to one day.
