A couple of weeks ago we had some of my husband's old co-workers over for a barbecue. Along with hotdogs for the kids, marinated london broil, and sausage and pepper wedges we made several salads. The first was a potato salad. I'm always looking for new potato salad recipes. This one had ranch and bacon so I thought it couldn't be bad. Unfortunately, I forgot to swap some of the mayo for sour cream which I had meant to do. I knew I had bought sour cream for a reason but couldn't remember what it was for! And the fact that the potatoes were a bit crunchy and not totally cooked all the way through probably didn't help either. However, I wasn't a big fan of the flavors and probably won't be making this again.
