Avocado Potato Salad - The BEST potato salad hands down! A crowd-favorite that's so creamy using fresh avocado and NO MAYO. It's healthier and tastier! WIN!

It’s not summer without a giant bowl of classic potato salad, right?

It’s really just a bowl of carbs galore, which is heaven in my book.

But why don’t we just take it further and turn that classic into something even better?

Because if you’re obsessed with avocado like me, you’re in good hands here.

Wait, no. Even better hands because now, there’s no mayo, no sugar, no nothing.

Just garlic roasted potatoes (yes, roasting is a key secret method here!) and avocado.

Plus. Bacon. You can’t forget that.

Hey, if we’re swapping out the mayo, the bacon becomes an even trade. #truth
