Ingredients
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 large eggs (hard-boiled)
- 16 Yukon gold or red potatoes (quartered)
- 1 medium red onion (diced)
- ½ cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup scallions (minced)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Place bacon slices in a single layer on a cooling rack placed inside a baking sheet. If you don’t have a cooling rack, simply line the baking sheet with foil before placing bacon on top. Bake until bacon is crispy, around 15 minutes.
- While bacon is baking, cook the potatoes by placing them in a pan then covering with cold water. Boil until fork tender, about 12-15 minutes. Strain and set aside.
- Follow this tutorial to hard boil the eggs to your desired doneness. Let eggs cool enough to peel then chop into bite-sized pieces. Place cooked potatoes in a large bowl along with diced, cooked eggs.
- Remove bacon from oven and chop into small pieces. Add to the bowl along with the potatoes and eggs.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together dressing: mayo, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper. Drizzle dressing over the potatoes, bacon and eggs then toss to coat. Sprinkle in scallions before serving. Can be served warm, room temperature or chilled.

Notes
- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon gold over starchy like russet, as they hold their shape better.
- I highly recommend you make it a day in advance to really let the flavors meld!
