Experimental Potato Salad

This was the second time I made homemade potato salad. The first time I used too many radishes and it became a little too peppery. Since it was Labor Day weekend, and some of my coworkers were getting together for a barbecue, the first thing that came to mind for me to bring to the barbecue was potato salad. Most store-bought potato salad has too much mayo in it. I think I still need to tweak the recipe a bit, but overall it was a huge success at the barbecue.

Mmm...bacon

Giant pot of boiling water and potatoes while bacon was cooking on another pan

Cut up bacon with some kitchen scissors, also I use chopsticks to turn the bacon in the pan to keep from scratching non-stick pans
