I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It turned out great! The dressing was still creamy and flavorful, but it was much lighter.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I had some leftover mashed potatoes and I used them to make this salad. It turned out great!

I'm a vegetarian and I love this potato salad. It's so creamy and flavorful, even without the bacon. I added some chopped avocado for extra creaminess.

This is a great recipe for a summer cookout. It's easy to make and can be served warm or cold. I served it with grilled chicken and corn on the cob.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the day before a party and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld and the potatoes were even more creamy.
