Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 -1 1/2 lb new potato, red
1/4 lb bacon
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup cider vinegar
fresh chives, snipped, garnish (optional)
fresh parsley, minced, garnish (optional)
hard-boiled egg, garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes and cook in boiling salted water until tender. Drain. While hot, skin and cut into 1/4-inch slices. You should have about 4 cups. Set aside.
  • Slice through bacon and place bacon in a skillet and fry until almost crisp. Remove bacon from pan and add onion and celery, cook until tender and transparent, remove from pan.
  • Drain off all but one tablespoon of bacon fat; add flour, sugar, salt and pepper to skillet stir until slightly browned.
  • Add vinegar and water and cook until mixture is slightly thickened. Add back the bacon, onion, and celery.
  • Pour hot dressing over potatoes; stir gently to blend. The potatoes should look glossy.
  • Garnish with hard-boiled egg slices, sprinkle minced parsley, and chives over top. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when boiled.
  • Boil the potatoes until they're just tender: Overcooked potatoes will fall apart when you mix them with the dressing.
  • Use a good quality vinegar: A good vinegar will add a nice tang to the dressing. White vinegar or apple cider vinegar are both good choices.
  • Don't skimp on the bacon: Bacon adds a lot of flavor to the salad. Use thick-cut bacon for the best results.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, will add a lot of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they're more concentrated.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
