Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes washed and cut into quarters
- 3 pieces Bacon diced
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- ⅓ cup fresh dill chopped
- ⅓ cup fresh parsley chopped
For the Dressing:
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 3 teaspoons whole grain mustard
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and then place in a large saucepan. Cover them with water and bring to a boil over medium high heat.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes until they are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes in to a colander in the sink and immediately un cold water over them and drain completely. I like to then place the let them in a bowl and put them in the refrigerator to cool for about 20 minutes before cutting them into cubes.
- While the potatoes are cooling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy then scoop it out with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel lined plate to absorb the grease. You can also bake bacon in the oven or microwave.
- In a small bowl, add the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and pepper and whisk until combined.
- Slice the potatoes into cubes or quarters and then add them to a large bowl.
- Drizzle the dressing over the potatoes and gently stir to coat well.
- Then add the bacon, green onions, dill and parsley and stir gently to mix in.
- Let the salad sit for at least 20 minutes for the flavors to meld together.

Notes
- Serve warm or cold.
- Use dijon mustard if you'd like.
- Swap the vinegar for red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice if you'd like.
- Add in thinly sliced celery.
- Omit the bacon if desired.
- Slice the potato before cooking if you'd like. You can also slice them into circles instead of cubes but the cooking time will reduce to 6-7 minutes.
- Use any favorite type of potato you'd like. Yukon gold, red potatoes or new potatoes. Be sure to cut larger potatoes into cubes prior to boiling.
