Lawson's Labor Day Potato Salad

Growing up in the south, it was always a tradition to have potato salad. I personally never really enjoyed the sweet potato salad with the pickles. I took it upon my self to create one that I have taken to party after party and it gets rave reviews. This is something you can even get done today for an event this afternoon or this evening.

Serves 6-8

10 Russett Potatoes

5 celery stalks

1 red onion

1 package of bacon

1 small jar of dukes mayo

1/2 bottle of ranch dressing

3 tablespoons of regular yellow mustard

1 tablespoon of dijon mustard

Lawry's seasoning salt

garlic salt

black pepper

Boil the potatoes until they are completely cooked through. You can always tell by sticking a fork in them. while this is happening, cook the entire package of bacon. save some of the drippings for later too.  Make sure bacon is crumbled and put in a bowl for later. pre-chop your red onion and celery and stick in very large mixing bowl. Put your crumbled bacon in the bowl as well. Once potatoes are cooked drain out of the water and place them in the mixing bowl. With a knife start cutting up the potatoes. Remember you're not making mashed potatoes so there is room to have some lumps! Add just a splash of the bacon drippings then add the mayo, ranch, 2 mustards, and seasonings and mix together. Stick in the refrigerator for an hour and you're ready to serve.
