COPYCAT WHOLE HOG POTATO SALAD

The potato salad for people who hate potato salad.

I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas for a few years before moving back to Texas, and if you’ve ever been, you’ve probably had Whole Hog BBQ. (It’s even in the Little Rock Airport). It’s amazing bbq, one of Josh’s favorites of all time in fact.

Everything is fantastic (especially the spicy bbq sauce), but my absolute favorite thing is the potato salad. Which is actually kind of shocking, because I don’t really like potato salad…

I’d been trying to make this sour cream based potato salad all summer, when my friend Jennifer took pity on me and tested it for me along side the real deal to give me the feedback I desperately needed. The result is what I would call a dang good copycat for all us Arkansas expats.

Y’all let me know what you think!
