Ingredients

We ran out of potatoes one lazy Saturday, and potato salad was just the thing we needed to go with our grilled hamburgers. Turns out we had lots of French fries on hand in the freezer--so I baked up a batch and dressed them using my traditional recipe. The potato salad turned out so good, I've been making it with French fries since then.
French Fried Potato Salad
3 cups of crisp, hot French fries, roughly chopped--preferably home made, but Fast Food take out fries or frozen fries baked in your oven will do.
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped chilled bread and butter (sweet) pickle chips
1/2 cup minced fresh chives
1/2 cup fat free mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions

Set French fries aside; keep warm. In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients until well blended. Add French fries to mixture in bowl; blend in with spatula, using folding motion, being careful not to break fries.

Serve immediately.

tasty potato salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't actually make this with the french fries, I admit. But I did think that the dressing and flavors, deserved a kudos.... I'm usually not super fond of potato salad but was asked to make some for a bbq. I found this recipe and thought it sounded good, it really was!Read more

best potato salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe may sound strange but it was one of the best potato salads I've ever eaten. It almost was enough to make my... husband break his south beach diet. Alas, it didn't, but it wasn't the recipe's fault. he's just got will power of steel. If you want to make it ahead, make the wet mixture before, store in the fridge, and add the cooked french fries just before serving. This keeps you from chopping and dicing at the last minute and allows you to add your fries hot out of the oven.Read more

A Great New Twist!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I needed a quick and easy potato salad recipe and this fit the bill! I wasn't sure how it would go over but we loved it and... I've recommended it to several people. The french fries are a great substitute for the regular potatoes. I agree with the other reviewer that it is best served at room temperature.Read more

A Terrific Surprise!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this recipe intriguing, so I tried it, not knowing what my family would think of it. We loved it! The french fries... add a lot to an otherwise traditional recipe. I thought it was best served at room temperature. I recommend this recipe highly!Read more
