Description

A creamy yet slightly tangy potato salad with crispy bacon and sautéed onions, ideal for any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds waxy potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon or grainy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and cool before cutting into cubes.
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Sauté the chopped onion in the same skillet until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and mustard, seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer gently for a couple of minutes.
  5. Toss the warm potatoes in the dressing until well-coated.
  6. Finish by crumbling the crispy bacon over the top and mix gently.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

This salad can be made a day in advance for deeper flavor. Customize with spices or alternative ingredients as desired.
