I love this recipe. It's different from any other dressing I make. The only change I made was I use 1/4 lb. bacon instead of the 1/2 lb.

I have been looking for a recipe like this for a long time! I grew up in Pennsylvania Dutch country and remember eating delicious potato salad made with the same dressing. I've tried many different versions of this dressing, but they never seemed to taste quite right. This one is perfect! It has just the right amount of sweetness and tang from the vinegar. And the bacon adds a wonderful smoky flavor. I'm definitely going to make this again soon.
