potato salads can be a let down, especially those that are bland, monochromatic & drenched in mayonnaise.

this blows regular potato salad out of the water.

great color.  big bold flavors, with sharp cheddar & mutha sauce.  interesting & most importantly, distinguishable textures with grilled potatoes & crisp bacon, this will be a very welcome dish at your next cookout.
