How many times have you gone to a barbecue and not been excited to add a scoop of potato salad to your plate? The number one thing I hear is that next to the other tantalizing options, it’s boring. But why does it have to be? <\/p>\n

These potato salad recipes<\/a><\/strong> will show you it can shine brightly at your Labor Day cookout and not be just another side.<\/p>\n

Use zucchini you have from the garden and try Hidemi Walsh’s<\/a><\/strong> (Plainfield, IN<\/a><\/strong>) Maple Bacon Potato Salad<\/a><\/strong>. “[This is a] potato salad with zucchini and crispy bacon,” explains Hidemi. “Since bacon and maple syrup are a great match, I added a little bit of maple syrup for the dressing.”<\/p>\n

The subtle maple flavor adds a sweet, rich accent to the tasty taters and salty bacon. Lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and capers add a punch of flavor and some tang. A bit sweet, a bit savory and oh so good.<\/p>\n

With lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, hard-boiled egg, avocado, chicken and more, a cobb salad is packed with tons of goodies. Linda Bonwill<\/a><\/strong> (Englewood, FL<\/a><\/strong>) turned this classic restaurant favorite into a stellar potato salad. <\/p>\n

“I have been making potato salad for years and the dressing has always been the same… delicious,” shares Linda. “If I have something great, I want to make it better.” <\/p>\n

Linda’s Cobb Potato Salad<\/a><\/strong> dressing is great. It’s creamy and tangy, just what it should be. But the toppings are what makes this delish. It’s literally everything you love about a cobb salad mixed with potatoes. Nancy Bachmann<\/a><\/strong> (Medford, OR<\/a><\/strong>) thinks “[it’s] the best I’ve ever eaten and my son agreed.” With a review like that, I think this will be a popular dish at your cookout.<\/p>\n

“This Polish Vegetable Salad<\/a><\/strong> is served cold as a side to almost any meal,” says Lisa Pekala<\/a><\/strong> (Schererville, IN<\/a><\/strong>). “I make this salad a couple times a month.” Lisa’s potato salad is so good, this may become a staple recipe beyond cookout season.<\/p>\n

It’s a great side with a burger or hot dog. The carrots and apple add a nice crunch. I used dill pickles and loved the distinct dill taste. The sour cream and mayo make this salad super creamy!<\/p>\n

Kathy W.’s<\/a><\/strong> (Englewood, OH<\/a><\/strong>) Middle Eastern Style Potato Salad<\/a><\/strong> is different because it’s not creamy. A game changer for guests who aren’t fans of a mayo based potato salad. She uses olive oil and a touch of lemon juice to coat her taters. <\/p>\n

It’s light, tart and not traditional. Kalamata olives, parsley, and green onions all add to the wonderful flavor. Kathy gives the choice of including Feta cheese and I highly recommend adding that. It adds a bit of creaminess to the potato salad. <\/p>\n

If you love dill pickles, give Paul Bushay’s<\/a><\/strong> (Mesa, AZ<\/a><\/strong>) Esther’s (My Mom) Potato Salad<\/a><\/strong> a whirl at your next bbq. “This is a recipe from boyhood,” reminisces Paul. “My brothers and I would always ask for this when we had picnics or backyard barbecues.”<\/p>\n

I never prepared potato salad this way before trying Paul’s recipe. It was quite a pleasant surprise! The dill adds a freshness to the dish that the crew and I really loved. Pick up some dill pickle relish the next time you’re at the store (it’s right next to the sweet relish) and give this one a try.<\/p>\n

These amazing potato salad recipes are anything but boring. Serve them at your Labor Day cookout and I guarantee when you’re clearing the table there won’t be a spoonful left. Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
