Potato Salad with Bacon

Potato salad with bacon is a timeless and crowd-pleasing dish, ideal for picnics, barbecues, or any gathering. For a delightful presentation, serve it chilled over a bed of crisp lettuce or alongside hearty slices of whole grain bread.

• 8 ingredients
• 10 minutes
• 2 Servings

Ingredients

2 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup boiled potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
2 tablespoons mayonnaise-type salad dressing
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt, for consistency with other recipes

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
2. Add the chopped onion to the bowl and mix it into the dressing.
3. Gently fold in the diced potatoes, ensuring they are coated evenly with the dressing.
4. Season the potato salad with salt and pepper to your taste preferences.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
6. Before serving, sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped green onion on top for added flavor and garnish.

Notes

For optimal flavor, refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

For a creamier texture, consider adding additional mayonnaise or sour cream to the dressing according to your preference.

Opt for waxy potatoes such as red or Yukon gold for this recipe. They hold their shape well when boiled, ensuring a satisfying texture in the salad.

To enhance the flavor profile, incorporate diced onions, chopped celery, or sliced scallions into the salad.

If you plan to make the salad in advance, keep the ingredients and dressing separate until just before serving to maintain the desired texture of the potatoes and prevent any separation of the dressing.
