Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

To gauge a 1/2-cup serving of potato salad, cup your hand. That is the recommended serving size for this potato salad.

Substitute

Substitute sliced green onions for the chopped chives.

How to Use Your Microwave

To cook potatoes in the microwave, place quartered potatoes and 1/3 cup water in 3-qt. microwaveable casserole; cover. Microwave on HIGH 14 to 16 min. or until potatoes are tender, stirring after 8 min. Drain.

This is the easiest potato salad recipe I've ever used. The microwave really makes the recipe easier and faster. I'm not waiting until a spring or summer holiday to make it again.

I added fresh chopped cilantro and garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Absolutely delicious! It would also be good mashed up a little more and served hot.

I would make this again. BUT I didn't like it the first time I made it. Next time I will add more Mayo and Dijon mustard. It tasted a little bland. I also will serve it hot. The bacon is not very good cold.
