Why we love it
Bacon and eggs are, of course, a classic combination, and when you add potatoes to it, it just takes the whole thing up a notch. But it is the creamy greek yogurt dressing that really pulls everything together with a ton of flavor.
Whether you are planning to serve this as a main or a side dish, or even take it to a potluck or a picnic, this versatile potato salad is one everyone is going to love.
Now, I put the red onions as optional as if you are serving this recipe to children, they may not care for red onions (I know mine do not!)
But, I would highly recommend adding red onions to a grown-up serving, as it really adds a lot of flavor and helps the whole bacon and egg potato salad come together in a medley of flavors.
What to serve with it?
This bacon and egg potato salad will go as a great side dish with a main like lemon pepper drumsticks or this sausage and veggies. You can also serve it with a dish like paprika chicken.
How to store it?
You can prepare this bacon and egg potato salad in advance, and keep it in the fridge for a few hours. If you wish to keep for a few days, I recommend putting it in an airtight glass container in the fridge.
