This Bacon Corn Smashed Potato Salad is a nice alternative to your classic potato salad. A big hit with my family,
Jump to:
Every Thanksgiving I am asked to bring a side dish to my Mother-in-Law's. I would prefer to not bring the same dish over and over but bring something new & fresh so I can get some candid feedback on a new recipe. This year I brought this Bacon Corn Smashed Potato Salad.
I realize this is a big departure from the classic potato salad, but I think that if you give this recipe a try you will add it to your regular rotation. Yes, it's that good!
This potato salad is unlike any other side dish I have made before. What is especially unique about this potato salad recipe is that you can either eat it hot or cold. I prefer to eat it warm while my wife enjoys hers a little cooler than room temperature. Go figure. In any case, both ways taste delicious in our opinion.
🥓 How to Make Bacon
If you struggle to make bacon perfectly, I've put together a short tutorial on How to Make Perfect Bacon - 3 Ways. Check it out! My preferred method is baking it in the oven.
And don't throw away that bacon grease! Bacon is expensive and the grease is great for making Scrambled Eggs, Grilled Cheese, Popcorn and even hash browns. It can keep up to 3 months if properly stored in the refrigerator.
While you are at it, make sure you check out my other Potato Salad recipes. But if you prefer Pasta Salads, you can find my pasta salad recipes here. But for another great mashed potato recipe, you MUST try my Vodka Mashed Potatoes recipe. For Adults only though!
