Fathers Day Potato Salad

What you'll need is a combination of 6 or 7 large potatoes (I used 2 reds, 2 sweets, and 2 yams for my salad), 1/2 pound bacon, 4 eggs, 1 medium onion, 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 T. sugar, 1 T. white vinegar, 1 t. salt, 3/4 t. dill weed, and 1/2 t. pepper...
Place eggs in water and put on the stove over high heat to boil.
Peel potatos...
and slice up and place in dutch oven.
Fill almost up the top of potatoes with water and then sprinkle with salt.
Cover and place over high heat. When potatoes begin to boil, turn down to simmer.
Measure 1/2 pound of bacon...
and slice up in pieces to fry. Fry on medium heat.
When eggs are done, run under cold water and let set until later.
Chop up medium onion...
and place in a large bread bowl.
When eggs have cooled, use egg slicer to slice eggs and add to the bread bowl.
Measure 1 cup of mayonnaise.
Add 2 T. of sugar...

1 T. white vinegar...
1 t. of salt,
3/4 t. of dill weed (I love this stuff!),
and 1/2 t. pepper.
Whisk it all together.
When potatos and bacon have cooled, add them to the bread bowl and stir gently.
Add the dressing and stir gently just to coat the salad with dressing.
Chill And ENJOY!
Serve with Sweet Baby Ray Ribs, Wasabi Marinated Chicken Breasts, Corn on the Cob, Watermelon, Rhubarb Strawberry Meringue, etc. Yum!!!
