This French Onion Potato Salad combines two summer favorites into one dish. This simple recipe will easily become a picnic, campout, and barbecue must-have.
I love potato salad. I actually am one of โthoseโ people who will eat it as their main dish at a barbecue. Skip the meat; pass the potatoes. And French onion dip makes me weak in the knees. It has always been the one item I search the food table for at parties. And if I see it, well, I pretty much will sit by it the entire night.
My husband was going to make his famous BBQ-rib tinfoil dinners, so I needed to bring some sort of salad, and I instantly knew it would be French Onion Potato Salad instead. With 5 main ingredients, it was easy to make, and well, I took little nibbles โ or spoonfuls if Iโm being honest, along the way.
I never thought potato salad could get any better. Well, it did my friends. This French Onion Potato Salad is so delicious and creamy, and I just canโt wait for our next camp trip, party or picnic so I can make this recipe again. Cheers to summer, camp trips and rockinโ potato salads.
Enjoy! XOXO San
