Description: Old-fashioned potato salad with mayo and hard-boiled eggs is the perfect summertime side dish. Adding bacon gives this potato salad a slightly smoky flavor.
Cook bacon until crisp. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Peel and cube the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, and add water to cover. Add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes. Add bacon drippings and shake to coat. Let the potatoes cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine potatoes, chopped eggs, onion and celery. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream, and vinegar, then stir into potatoes. Add pepper and salt, to taste. Garnish with crumbled bacon and dill.
