HERBY POTATO SALAD WITH WARM BACON VINAIGRETTE
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with 2 inches water. Generously season the water with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, place the bacon in a cold skillet and turn to medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and thyme to the pan. Saute the bacon and thyme until just starting to crisp, about 7 minutes; we want to render the bacon slowly. Once the bacon has rendered some of its fat, add the onions to the bacon and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vinegar, butter and mustard.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and add immediately to the pan with the sauteed bacon. Stir to coat, adjusting the seasoning, if necessary. Add the remaining fresh herbs, toss and serve.
- This salad can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Cook's Note: Adding the potatoes while they are still warm will help them to soak up the flavors of the vinaigrette.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked bacon or microwave bacon.
- For a smoky flavor, use smoked bacon.
- Use a variety of potatoes, such as red potatoes, Yukon Gold potatoes, or fingerling potatoes.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, use dried herbs.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- For a tangy dressing, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
- For a creamy dressing, add a tablespoon of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- To make the salad ahead of time, cook the potatoes and bacon and let them cool completely. Then, toss the potatoes, bacon, and dressing together. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
