Categories     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 lbs petite (or baby) red or white potatoes, cut into 4ths
2 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided
2-3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
12 oz package of bacon, cooked and crumbled
3-4 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup finely diced celery (2-3 stalks)
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet pickles (or a few tablespoons of sweet pickle relish)
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp whole-grain dijon mustard
2 Tbsp bacon grease (optional, but highly recommended)
2 tsp granulated sugar
pinch ground celery seed
1/4 tsp black pepper

Steps:

  • Add sliced potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, about an inch above the tops of the potatoes. Bring to a boil over MED-HIGH heat. Covering the pan helps this happen faster, but pay attention that it doesn't boil over!!
  • Once boiling, add 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt and stir. Boil, for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fork tender. Watch out for the foam on top of the water, it can boil over if you're not careful. Adjust the heat so that the potatoes are still boiling, but not so hot that they're roaring.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander, then return potatoes to the same hot pot you boiled them in. Add vinegar and stir to combine. Let sit a minute or two, then return to the colander to cool slightly.
  • While potatoes are cooling, add dressing ingredients plus remaining 1 tsp kosher salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together and set aside.
  • Chop eggs, red onion, celery and pickles. Add cooked potatoes to the dressing in the mixing bowl and top with chopped eggs, onion, celery, pickles and crumbled bacon.
  • Gently stir it all together, until well combined. Cover tightly and refrigerate until cold, at least 3-4 hours.

CHUNKY POTATO SALAD



Chunky Potato Salad image

My potato salad is often requested because it's chunky and not "mashed" potato salad. It is also downright yummy! The secret is to mix together the dressing part before adding it to the cut ingredients.

CLASSIC CREAMY POTATO SALAD



Classic Creamy Potato Salad image

This is a recipe I have used for over 30 years. Any family potluck dinner we have, I am always on potato salad duty. I bring a double batch of this old favourite. It always goes fast and I have given out the recipe many times over the years. I cheat a little and make a lower-fat version for my family, but always make the full-fat version for company. New, red potatoes may be used with skins on. This is a chunky one, not meant to be mashed.
