I originally saw this Stars and Stripes Potato Salad on BuzzFeed and loved the idea! I wasn’t crazy about their ranch dressing mixed potatoes though so I came up with my own tasty potato salad mixture. I still topped it with bacon, chips, and sour cream to make a flag design just like the video on BuzzFeed. The end result was creamy, crunchy and pretty darn good! Patriotic American Flag Potato Salad is a great side dish to serve anytime but especially during the summer holidays like Independence Day, Memorial Day, and today, Patriot Day.

Let us take a minute and remember those we lost on 9/11/01. We will never forget!

Patriotic American Flag Potato Salad

Ingredients

6 lbs Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into one inch cubes
6 slices bacon cooked {in the oven so they stay flat}
10 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
6 tbsp green onion diced
1 cup sour cream
6 tbsp mayo {I like Duke's}
1 1/2 cup mixed blend cheese {or Cheddar} shredded
salt/pepper to taste
1/2 cup blue corn tortilla chips crumbled

Instructions

Place diced potatoes in a large pot of water and cover with water.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Cook for about 8-10 minutes, until fork tender.
Drain the potatoes and let cool.
In a small bowl mix together 3/4 cup sour cream, mayo, and salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, add the potatoes, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions.
Add the dressing and toss to coat.
Pour into a 9X13 baking dish or a large rectangular platter.
Lay 6 slices of bacon {I cook in the oven so they stay flat and don't shrink} in rows on top of the potatoes to make flag "stripes".
Sprinkle the blue corn tortilla chips in the upper left corner.
Add remaining sour cream to a baggie, cut off the corner, and squeeze sour cream out to make rows of dots all over the chips.
Serve and dig in!
