I posted this within the last couple years. It's my rendition of a
potato salad at Cub's deli counter:

Steakhouse Potato Salad

Serving Size: 4

July 2008 ‹ A great salad without the bite of the vinegar in mayo.

1/2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules or base, dissolved in 1
tablespoon hot water
1/3 pound bacon slices, (maybe 4-6)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2/3 cup sour cream
3 large-ish green onions, sliced
6-8 small new red potatoes, scrubbed and boiled until tender

Dissolve the chicken base in water and set aside to cool.

Cut the bacon slices into 1/2" wide pieces and fry slowly until crisp
but not burned. Drain well and cool.

While bacon is frying, quarter the potatoes into chunks in a bowl.

Combine the chicken base, mayo, and sour cream, stirring together until
smooth. Stir in sliced green onions and crisp bacon pieces; pour over
potatoes, mix, correct seasoning, and chill for a couple hours before
serving.

Serves 4

Cub sells this for $7 per pound. The chicken base is an important
component; I wouldn't be too surprised if what Cub sells has some cream
of chicken soup in it. . .

Adjust measures as required, but that's about the right ratio of mayo to
sour cream.
