Instructions
Cut potatoes to about 1" or so. You don't want them too small or when you're mixing everything together, you won't have any potato chunks left.
Boil Potatoes & Eggs
HINT: I boiled my eggs the night before. However, here's a cool tip - you can put your eggs in with your potatoes and after they've boiled as long as you desire, remove the eggs and continue boiling the Potatoes.
Cook the bacon while the potatoes are boiling. I baked mine for 12 minutes at 350. You can cook yours however you like.
Dice the celery
Dice the onion
Chop the boiled eggs
Break up the bacon into small pieces
Drain the potatos and let sit for 1/2 - 1 hour. This will allow them to "set". If you don't wait, you will have mushy potato salad.
Using a potato masher, mash bout 5-6 times.
Stir, stir, stir. This is some thick/heavy stuff here. You will need some muscle
Notes
Serve, if you like it warm. Refrigerate for a few hours to overnight if you like it cold.
