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.

I didn't want to go through the bother of making a traditional potato salad. I saw this recipe browsing Food Network, and it sounded good. I tried it and it was soooo delicious! Just the right amount of spice, and excellent flavor! I will definitely be making it again soon :-

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!

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.
