Picnic Perfect Sour Cream & Bacon Potato Salad
By Jennifer Alexander Ruple

A third-generation favorite, this homemade potato salad recipe was created by my grandmother, continued by my mom, and now craved by me. The inclusion of sour cream, bacon, fresh parsley, and a generous sprinkling of paprika make it a unique side dish ideal for any summer occasion.

Ingredients:
• 5# red potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (leave a little
skin on for color)
• 5 pieces crisp bacon, crumbled
• 1 medium sweet onion, diced
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
• Paprika

Instructions:
Cook potatoes in boiling water. Allow them to cool. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients then sprinkle with more parsley and paprika. Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
