Summertime Potato Salad

Does anything say Summer better than a colorful, tangy, potato salad?  This one is meant to be a meal unto itself.  It is a perfect, ligh and tasty dinner when the weather is warm.  White or yellow potatoes would work nicely if you don't have red.  The real bacon bits really add to the flavor.
