I should've read the reviews first, because the recipe as written yields bucketloads more dressing than needed. I wound up with the potatoes virtually swimming in the dressing, which pretty much nullifies the crispiness of the potatoes you're trying to achieve by frying them in the bacon fat. Plus, with so much dressing, the vinegar imparts a pretty bracing acidity on the order of salt-and-vinegar chips. I'm pretty sure that in the show, the potatoes had just a thin coating of the dressing.

Yum!!! I actually overheard some ladies talking at lunch about this recipe, it sounded so good I had to try it. This was a hit. I incorporated many of the tips from the previous reviews:
1. Used greek yogurt vs sour cream (with all the other yummy fat in this,the yogurt seemed like the right thing to do
2. Switched the amounts of the mayo and yogurt
3. Reduced the vinegar a bit
4. Increased the amount of potatoes
The end result was fabulous!! Everyone raved about it and undoubtedly I'll be asked to make it again very soon. What a great recipe, and thanks to all for your tips!
