buffalo bacon potato salad
the hubby decided the wanted burgers for dinner. if it was up to him, he would eat burgers every day. i knew i had some potatoes in the pantry, so i thought, oh... i want some potato salad. but today, i was feeling a little antsy, for lack of a better word. i wanted something special. not no regular ol' potato salad! i wanted to spice some thangs up a bit. lol. so i started raiding my refrigerator. i'm sure everything in my fridge gets nervous when i do this. i start eyeballing every item in there, hoping something pops out at me. then, the frank's buffalo sauce slapped me in the face. just kidding. but i knew right then what i wanted to do. the hubby had taken the kids to the park and when they returned, the smell hit them when they walked in the door. the bacon-y, buffalo-y yummy smell. once they tasted the potato salad, they LOVED it. i mean, tore it up! it's definitely a keeper.
