Not Yo Mama's Potato Salad
Description
This potato salad is built on bite-sized boiled red new or Yukon gold potatoes, which are cooked until tender and drained. While the potatoes cook, bacon is crisped in a skillet and then broken into bite-sized pieces. A vinaigrette made from olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper is whisked together to dress the warm potatoes, helping them absorb the flavors.
The crispy bacon, diced green onions, fresh parsley, and optionally Parmesan cheese are added on top, contributing texture and savory notes. This salad can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, with the bacon providing a salty crunch against the tangy and slightly sweet dressing.
The recipe advises seasoning to taste, especially with salt and pepper, to adjust the balance as the salad is finished.
