Melba's Jammin' posted this recipe several years ago and I snagged it. I've
yet to make it that someone does not ask for the recipe and it gets rave
reviews.


Steak House Potato Salad

Servings: 4 - 6

A great salad without the bite of the vinegar in mayo.

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules or base, dissolved in 1
tablespoon hot water

1/2-pound bacon slices, (maybe 6-8)

1/2 heaping cup mayonnaise

1 heaping cup sour cream

1 - 2 shallots diced or snipped chives

6-8 medium new red potatoes, scrubbed and boiled until tender

Dissolve the chicken base in water and set aside to cool. This ingredient
is important to this dish, do NOT omit!

Cut the bacon slices into 1/2" wide pieces and fry slowly until crisp
but not burned. Drain well and cool. OR place bacon strips on a
baking sheet and cook in the oven. Drain, cool, and chop.

While bacon is cooking, quarter the potatoes into bite size chunks in
a bowl. Combine the chicken base, mayo, and sour cream, stirring together
until smooth. Stir in onions and crisp bacon pieces; pour over
potatoes, mix, correct seasoning, and chill several hours or overnight
before serving.

†’ Overnight is best. †

Adjust measurements as required, but that's about the right ratio of
mayo to sour cream. Recipe is easily doubled.
