Chicken Potato Salad

We all love a good potato salad at our BBQs. There are probably hundreds, even thousands of different ways to make potato salad out there on the Internet and in cookbooks. But a Chicken Potato Salad? You don’t see that every day.

The last time I made this Potato Salad was for our last family BBQ. It got rave reviews so I just had to share the recipe with all of you as an idea for your next BBQ.

I keep saying BBQ as that is an obvious choice for a BBQ but you can make this delicious side dish anytime you want! This potato salad is as good as my Old Fashioned Potato Salad.

    I was not a fan of potato salad until I made this one. It is to die for and I will use this recipe from now on. A keeper in my recipe book.
