Caesar Potato Salad is a creamy potato salad full of red potatoes, garlic, Parmesan cheese and bacon all tossed in a creamy homemade Caesar dressing. Perfect for a summer cookout.
The Caesar dressing has all the flavors of a good Caesar dressing: lemon juice, mayonnaise, garlic, and anchovies. And they really bring out the flavor of the potatoes. Because, let’s face it. Potato salad can be a little bland and boring. But not this one. I’ve never tasted a potato salad with so much flavor.
I’m a huge fan of Caesar flavors and this Caesar Pasta Salad is one of the most popular recipes on Spicy Southern Kitchen. I also love this Caesar Coleslaw.
Tips For Making Caesar Potato Salad
- The flavor of the garlic is pretty strong in this potato salad. If you want a more mellow garlic flavor, use roasted garlic or you can sauté the garlic for a minute or two in some bacon grease before adding it.
- For the best flavor, use a good quality mayonnaise like Hellmann’s or Duke’s mayonnaise.
- You will not taste the anchovies in the dressing but they will add wonderful saltiness and flavor. If you do not want to use anchovies, try adding a little extra Worcestershire sauce instead.
- This potato salad is best made in advance so the flavors have time to marry.
Storage
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 days.
