Potato Salad With Crispy Bacon And Mustard Mayo Food

POTATO SALAD WITH BACON & MUSTARD

Steps:

• For the dressing put the oils, mustard and vinegar into a bowl with ¼ tsp each salt and pepper and whisk hard for 3 mins. Add cream and stir in. Keep at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Boil potatoes for 12-15 mins until tender, drain, then when cool enough to handle, halve. Meanwhile, fry lardons with lots of black pepper until golden. Mix together the potatoes, lardons and chives. Pour over the dressing and mix again.

BACON-AND-EGG POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• 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. Meanwhile, saute the bacon in a skillet over low heat until crispy, about 12 minutes. Drain 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.

POTATO SALAD WITH MUSTARD DRESSING AND BACON

Steps:

• Whisk mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and garlic in medium bowl to blend.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Cover, chill.
• Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp.
• Drain on paper towels.
• Crumble.
• Boil potatoes in large pot until just tender.
• Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Cool for 15 minutes or so.
• Mix bacon, celery, green and red onions, eggs and dressing into potatoes.
• Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
• Chill.
• Note: I usually hold back about ¾ cup of the dressing to toss with salad just before serving.
• While chilling the potatoes soak up a good bit of the dressing and if not careful it can become dry. If this happens just moisten with a small amount of milk and stir to encorporate.

ROASTED POTATO SALAD WITH BACON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F.
• Clean and halve fingerling or new potatoes lengthwise.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the garlic, olive oil, 1 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper. Place the potatoes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast the potatoes until golden brown and tender, about 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Remove and cool.
• While the potatoes are roasting, cut the bacon crosswise into one-fourth-inch pieces. Cook the bacon in a large sauté pan over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon is crisp, about 15 minutes. Stir frequently, watching that the bacon does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the grease for another use.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard and red wine vinegar. Season with one-half teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper. Taste and adjust mustard, vinegar and seasoning if desired.
• In a large bowl, combine the potatoes and bacon with the sliced onion. Gently stir in enough dressing to coat, then stir in the capers. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
• Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. The salad will keep for 3 days, refrigerated. Allow the salad to warm slightly at room temperature before serving.
