Potato Salad with Bacon and Eggs

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 large eggs (hard-boiled)
  • 16 Yukon gold or red potatoes (quartered)
  • 1 medium red onion (diced)
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup scallions (minced)

Steps

  1. 1

    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon slices in a single layer on a cooling rack placed inside a baking sheet. If you don't have a cooling rack, simply line the baking sheet with foil before placing bacon on top. Bake until bacon is crispy, around 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    While bacon is baking, cook the potatoes by placing them in a pan then covering with cold water. Boil until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes. Strain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Follow this tutorial to hard boil the eggs to your desired doneness. Let eggs cool enough to peel then chop into bite-sized pieces. Place cooked potatoes in a large bowl along with diced, cooked eggs.

  4. 4

    Remove bacon from oven and chop into small pieces. Add to the bowl along with the potatoes and eggs.

  5. 5

    In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing: mayo, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over the potatoes, bacon and eggs then toss to coat. Sprinkle in scallions before serving. Can be served warm, room temperature or chilled.
