Life Changing Hack for the Best Potato Salad

It's about that time to fire up the grill and start preparing your favorite side dishes! If you're a big fan of delicious potato salad, this hack is going to be a game changer for you. If you aren't such a fan, this may make you change your mind. TikTok content creator @iambakerofficial shows how she makes this side dish extra special.

I've never seen it made this way before and I can't imagine going back to my old ways - These flavors take it to a whole new level!

Although her potato salad recipe has many of the ingredients we all use, it has one major difference. Instead of boiling her potatoes, she roasted them instead.

To her diced potatoes, she adds olive oil, salt, and pepper. Then she spreads the spuds onto a sheet pan to roast in the oven. While they bake, she chops the hard-boiled eggs, onion, and bacon. Once the potatoes have cooled slightly but are still warm, she adds in the mayonnaise and prepped ingredients. She tells us that having the potatoes warm ensures the mayo gets melted inside all the nooks and crannies.

Commenters had a few suggestions of their own - Viewer @DavidBryant810 said, “Hear me out half mayo half French onion dip. It’s a game changer.” That’s a terrific idea. Viewer @Mandrake recommended, “I've done this for years, but I do half roasted and half boiled. That way, you get that mushy part that binds the mixture better.” That is another great tip.
