chicken-potato salad

Recipe by

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I was going to “cheat” and use pre-made potato salad until I found that my kids had eaten nearly all of it, so I quickly boiled some fresh potatoes while I got the rest of the salad ready. I pour my salad dressing on still warm potatoes because I feel the warm potatoes absorb the dressing. I did not add extra salt because the dressings, mustard, mayonnaise, and bacon crumbles all have salt. Pepper and season off to personal taste.
