Description

A classic crowd-pleaser made with tender potatoes, crispy bacon, and a creamy dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 6 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with salted water, bring to a boil, and add potatoes. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  2. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool and crumble.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  4. Once potatoes are cool, chop them and toss them into the bowl with dressing. Add bacon, celery, onion, and herbs.
  5. Toss gently and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

This salad tastes even better when made a day in advance. Adjust dressing as needed before serving.
