BACON BLUE CHEESE POTATO SALAD

Bacon Blue Cheese Potato Salad image

I'm not crazy about potato salad, but this one is definitely the exception. It's creamy and the flavor is wonderful. I got the recipe from my friend Devon, who got it from somebody else. Don't be put off by the blue cheese - the flavor is not overwhelming at all. I didn't know it had blue cheese until I asked for the recipe.
