Caramelized Onion Potato Salad- this creamy potato salad is full of crumbled bacon and sweet caramelized onions. It makes a great side dish for burgers, grilled chicken, steak, or barbecue.

Caramelized Onion

I love the sweetness of caramelized onions. It takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to get onions nice and caramelized. You want the heat fairly low and be sure to stir them frequently so they don’t burn.

What Type Of Onion To Use"

I like to use sweet onion or yellow onion for this recipe, but you can use white onion or red onion.

Creamy Dressing

A combination of mayonnaise and sour cream makes a really creamy base for the dressing and the sour cream gives the potato salad a little tang. You can use all mayo if you prefer.
Type of Potato To Use

I use red potatoes for this recipe, but russet potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes can be used instead.

Add Some Spice

If you want to spice up your potato salad, add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

Make Ahead and Storage

Leftovers will keep for 3 days in an airtight conatiner in the refrigerator. Should be made at least 1 hour ahead of time so the flavors have a chance to blend.

Recipe Tip

Make sure the onion slices aren’t too long or it makes the potato salad difficult to eat. You can roughly chop the slices.
