    Potato Salad with Bacon



    I think that there are two kinds of cooks: those who go in with a plan and a carefully shopped grocery list and those who just go into the kitchen and wing it.

    Although I certainly have the ability to make a meal on the fly, I am most certainly a planner.

    Potato Salad with Bacon


    That is why I was kind of surprised at myself a few weeks ago when I bought some pretty tomatoes (perfect for this Tomato Salad) and a bag of potatoes with absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them.
    It became a challenge to me, to see where my intuitive cooking would take me, and I have to say, it was fun. This is one of my favorite potato salad recipes....EVER.  And from a southern girl who has had more than her fair share of potato salad, that is saying a lot!

    Ingredients

    • 1 ¼ pounds baby red potatoes
    • 4 slices bacon
    • 1 small red onion diced
    • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
    • ¼ cup chicken or vegetable broth
    • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
    • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ cup chives chopped

    Instructions

    • Wash potatoes and place in a medium pot. Cover by 2 inches with cold water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat. Remove from skillet. Add onion for 6 minutes.
    • Add vinegar, chicken broth, and honey to the pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Stir in mustard, oil, salt, and pepper and remove from heat.
    • Slice potatoes and place in a bowl. Pour dressing and toss to coat. Toss with bacon and chives.

    Notes

    This potato salad has quite a bit of liquid. I like this because it keeps the leftovers moist, but if you are entertaining you may wish to drain a bit of it off.
