LAURA'S POTATO SALAD
Steps:
- Boil potatoes in a large pot until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Don't let them get too soft-a fork should go in but potatoes should not fall apart. Drain and cool slightly, then peel if desired or just slice. Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to let drain. When cool enough to handle, crumble into small pieces. Drain off all but 1 tablespoon fat from the skillet, then return to medium heat. Add white onion and cook until lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. In a large bowl, gently toss together warm bacon, potatoes and white onion with oil, mustard, vinegar, green onions, salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
