Texas Country Potato Salad sounds weird together. Am I wrong here? I don’t like saying Texas Country. You are Texas State, don’t try to get out of being associated with us! Or is it “Texas *PAUSE* Country Potato Salad? Anyhow. Do I love the name? No. Do I LOVE THIS POTATO SALAD??? YES. DO I WANT TO MAKE THIS FOR EVERY SUMMERTIME BBQ I HAVE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS?? YES. AM I OVERLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS? NO BITCH! IT IS THAT GOOD!
What’s that? You wanted me to get more specific? Well okay bossy pants. See this photo? Those are little red potatoes. And those little red potatoes are swimming in a jacuzzi of seasoned water and BACON GREASE. You boil. These potatoes. In bacon grease.
I rest my case.
I LOVE potato salad. Although I must say, it’s kind of a forgotten food for me. I never think about it. I never say to myself, “Man, this dinner is good but it would be complete with…..potato salad.”
But I think I’m gonna start saying that now. My old thoughts of potato salad were that of the ones from fast food places. Perfectly diced potatoes. Plain, slightly watery sauce. This is ohhhh so different. Rustic. Rugged. Flavor country.
Bacon, eggs, red potatoes, green onion, mayo…….wait a minute. Yes okay it’s basically those deviled eggs having sex times with potatoes but hey, that’s a porn I would watch (celebrity sex tapes are always such snoozers) (yes I’ve watched and I know you do too) (leaked pictures too) (blake lively is really pretty) (okay this is getting creepy)
Pictures?
Smooth and creamy with pops of bacon and green onion. Just to die for. My low-carb diet arch nemesis, ladies and gentleman I present to you…
lmfaooooo you wrote this entry particularly well in my humble opinion!
Looks good!!!!!!
Insanity. Buying bacon in bulk this weekend to make all of these recipes.
Definitely giving this one a shot. My go-to potato salad type thing comes from Michael Symon. Here’s the link

You make me lol every time I read one of your posts. BTW, both the deviled eggs and the salad are good with minced dill pickles added.
that is basically the same recipe I always make except i use russets. I staqrted adding bacon to it last summer when i was on a serious bacon binge, I also add a little celery for the crunch. Oh, and I always triple that recipe so we can eat it for a few days.
Is it weird that I look forward to your recipe posts on your awesome blog more than I do pay day, but less than Mad Men? Dinner tonight will be deviled eggs with a side of this potato salad!
Omfg I just creamed my jeans! That looks amazing
Yum yum
Your photographs are so good I want to eat my computer!!! Wow! Another winner it looks like. Can’t wait to try it. Remind us again how you stay so thin eathing these carbs? Amazing!
Potluck this weekend and didn’t know what to make. Thank you again Chrissy! Don’t know what I would do without you.

YUMS!!!!
Mmm, this looks SO good!!! Chrissy, are you coming to Dayton, OH when John is coming to perform here? I know the owners of Thai 9 and would love to introduce you to them! They would love you!
Chrissy, your blog is awesome. You are hilarious! Super glad I found it, and happy to know that even beautiful supermodels eat bacon. The world is a slightly better place now. xoxo Celine
I’m in love with you and your food blog!!!! Just started following but reading all your previous posts and I gotta say….I love them! Keep them coming!
Hope u’re considering creatin a cook book of easy recipes (random ones) instead of the standard with themes in the market, Chrissy. Great work on the hardwork preparin the food….Sorry abt John not appreciatin food w/out ketchup…perhaps tomato based food is his thang
I love potato salad, I make it all the time!! Can’t wait to try out this version, it sounds delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bacon lovers unite!
This potato salad, with these ingredients, almost sounds like too much of a no-brainer. Like the potato salad is trying to bribe me for some reason. Goddammit, Paula Deen.
Hey Chrissy,
Not sure if you remember all too well, but you were good friends with Bettina back in highschool. Just thought Id say Hey, im loving your blog! mmmm..food.
Felt the need to comment today after almost a full year of reading every single post, recipe, tweet, link, etc., laughing out loud at my computer while at work (I probably look insane), and linking countless friends to your home. cured. bacon. recipe (highlight of my life). After all you’ve put up with in the last day, I felt like you needed to be reminded of all the nameless people who you inspire to cook braver, act better and think smarter. You make every day a little bit funnier and happier for me.
Agreed!
ugh. thank you. love this. thank you thank you. <3
Hi Chrissy,
I’ve been reading the blog for a whiiiiillleee now, and of course always love it. Tried tons of your recipes, and learned from you about Pioneer Woman who I am now also obsessed with! Anyway, I saw all the twitter cray crays and just wanted to come here to make sure you know that WE LOVE YOU! The internet is full of psychos. Mostly psychos who have zero self esteem and need to hide behind a computer screen, tearing someone else down in order to feel good about themselves. Its actually pretty sad…if they weren’t such hatemongering douchenozzles. But you have a little community here of ladies (and I’m sure some dudes!) who think you’re just fantastic! Keep being funny, keep being outspoken, keep being smart and strong…keep being so totally down to earth that we all (I KNOW I’m not just speaking for myself here) consider you like an actual friend, if only in our heads via your blog. Just thought you might need to hear it!
this was so sweet thank you, lauren! and yes, I definitely DO need to hear it sometimes! so thank you, really. xx
A friend on LiveJournal.com made me aware this page exists and I’m really glad she did. It’s aweome that, despite your profession, you make and eat all kinds of amazing food shamelessly. A bacon and carb-eating model.. It’s worth getting used to. Your sense of humor is an added bonus.
I’m looking forward to new posts, missy.
I’ve never heard of boiling the potatoes in bacon grease, but how could that taste anything but amaze balls? I hate a red potato, but I would go down on that salad if it were made with baby yukon golds. In fact, the only way I’ll eat potato salad is if it involves sexy times with eggs, bacon, mayonnaise, green onion, and a little celery and mustard. My mother-in-law has been making it that way for years. It’s one of the few things she makes that I like enough to make myself. But better. Duh.
Chrissy,
Just wanted to give you props for not only sticking up for yourself, but all women as far as bullying goes. You’re very strong woman and a role model, and someone who knows how to speak their mind. Kudos. And, great blog!
There was a comment here that was so slimy and creepy that it was literally gnawing at me all day, to the point that hours later I honestly felt like I had to come back and say something in support because it was so quietly, seethingly gross, but thank christ, you already deleted it. (Still creeped out though.)
Thanks for being an inspiration to so many women. Most people in the modeling business give off the vibe that they never eat, which I don’t understand because I too share this insatiable desire for good food! I just wish I could stay as skinny and pretty as you
Sorry you have had to deal with so much these past couple days. Stay strong and keep up the good work! xoxo
Maybe you could do a future post on what a regular day of eating looks like for you? instead of just one meal? just a suggestion!
Holy cow! This looks incredible! I’ve gotta make it.
Hi Chrissy!
First, let me say, every time I visit your blog I’m reminded of the 4 good dishes I can cook off the top of my head, and how much more moms words “you need to learn how to cook something…I ain’t gon be with you always”rings true, ha. Thanks!
I’m interested in knowing if you would feature one of the handbags from my “Messi Floor Collection” out and about. “Messi Floor” is a collection of handcrafted purses designed for women with a unique style who are not shy or intimidated–and I think YOU fit that description perfecly!
A complimentary bag ( of your choice) will be shipped to you upon request. To view colllection and models please visit http://designsbytuesdai.com Hope to chat again soon. Twitter:TuesdaiNoelle
Yum, this potato salad looks amazing! I love that it has so many textures to it! I can’t wait to try it out!

Can’t wait to try this potato salad. Nom nom
I made this recipe this weekend. Winner.
Hi Chrissy,
Thank you SO much for posting this recipe. You are not overexaggerating its amazingness! I freaking HATE potato salad with my whole being. Husband loves it. So when he requested potato salad as a side for our Memorial weekend BBQ, I not only cringed, but also threw up in my mouth a little. Luckily, you saved the day, as you have for me many nights with your great finds. I made this on Monday, and it was gone in minutes! And that’s because I kept snacking on it in the kitchen and it almost didn’t make it to the community table. I’ve already made it again, and I’m not tired of it yet. Thanks!!!!!
Great recipe. And by the way I think they want to be their own country. Common number sticker “American by birth and Texan by the grace of god”. Sub Texan for arrogant for future reference
We made this yesterday and my boyfriend proclaimed it the ‘best potato salad ever!’ You rule, Chrissy.
wow i really want one now
Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Thank you!|
