Preparation
Step 1
Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2". Add 2 Tbsp. salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then let cool slightly (the potatoes should be warm when you dress them, which will help them soak up the dressing).
Step 2
Meanwhile, cook eggs in a large saucepan of boiling water 8 minutes (whites and yolks will be set). Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Drain, peel, and quarter eggs.
Step 3
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning halfway through, until brown and crisp, 8–10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and let cool slightly. Tear into 1" pieces. Reserve 2 Tbsp. bacon fat in pan.
Step 4
Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and remaining ½ tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, olives, half of bacon, and reserved bacon fat and fold gently until combined and completely coated. Transfer salad to a platter and top with remaining bacon.

Thank you Bryan Furman for sharing this amazing recipe - absolutely amazing and everyone ate it up! I made exactly as stated and think the dressing would have been enough for another potato - that’s the only thing I’d do differently. And I will definitely stop by Cracklin B’s BBQ if I’m ever in the area to taste the original.

This will be my go to Potato Salad Recipe going forward. It has just the right blend of salt, creamy and tang.
