Bacon Potato Salad Recipe Tips: I use russet potatoes, but red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes could be used instead and they don't have to be peeled. For best flavor and seasoning, add salt to the water you boil the potatoes in. This is a great tactic for potato salads, but not so much for mashed potatoes. Place salt, pepper, oil and vinegar in a plastic bowl with a lid. Add sliced potatoes, cucumbers and onion rings.
