Hashbrown Potato Salad
Potato salad is a staple side dish for a classic picnic get-together. This summer, consider trying something new with your traditional recipe. Hashbrowns are a great way to give your salad new texture and taste without straying too far from the traditional German-style potato salad recipe.
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (4.2 ounce) carton Hungry Jack Original Hashbrowns
- 3 to 4 strips diced bacon
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions
- Add hot water to hashbrown potatoes per package instructions. Let stand for 12 minutes. Drain well.
- Heat a 9 or 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Add bacon and onion; cook while stirring frequently until bacon is done and fat is rendered, which should take 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in potatoes. Cover pan and cook potatoes on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring once. Potatoes do not need to brown. Remove pan from heat.
