Bacon and Egg Potato Salad

Yummy goodness!

I love sharing recipes and when I found a recipe that combined potatoes, eggs, and bacon, how could I resist sharing it.  Over the years we've shared everything from Buffalo Chicken Dip to Strawberry Monkey Bread.  Well this weekend I was inspired to try a new recipe out of the July/August issue of  Food Network Magazine. 



Ingredients



Ingredients

• 2 pounds small red-skinned potatoes, quartered
• 1 pound bacon, chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 6 scallions, finely chopped
• 1 medium red onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

 

Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

 

 

Hint for success:  Use thick cut bacon for maximum flavor

 

 

Meanwhile, saute the bacon in a skillet over low heat (this is very important).

 

 

 

 

 

After about 12 minutes, the bacon will become crispy.

 

 



I wish you could smell the bacon goodness!



Drain the bacon on paper towels.


Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover and let stand 6 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool; peel and chop.


 



 

Drain the potatoes (do not rinse), transfer to a baking sheet and let cool 6 to 8 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, scallions, red onion, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.

 

 

 

Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and add the bacon and hard-cooked eggs; fold in the mayonnaise mixture. Serve at room temperature and enjoy! (Posted by Renee)
