CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON POTATO SALAD



Caramelized Onion and Bacon Potato Salad image

I was looking for a lower-calorie way to make my husband's favorite summer side dish, as my traditional potato salad was laden with eggs and mayo! The tzatziki dip as dressing certainly did the trick! The tarragon in the onions gives that hint of 'what is that?' to this recipe! Can be served warm or chilled.

Time 45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

30 small small potatoes, or more as needed
1 large red onion, sliced into 1/8-inch pieces
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
3 fluid ounces white wine
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
½ cup tzatziki sauce, or more to taste
5 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut potatoes in half.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onions until softened and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Add tarragon; pour in white wine to deglaze pan. Simmer until wine evaporates, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels.
  • Mix potatoes, onion, and bacon together in a large bowl. Fold tzatziki sauce, chives, salt, and black pepper into potato mixture.

Time 45m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 potatoes
8 slices bacon
1 large onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
chives (optional, sort of)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the potatoes (with skins attached, gotta love the extra vitamins) into bite sized pieces and get them boiling in water without salt.
  • 2. "Fake" caramelize the onions by sweating them over medium heat with the butter and brown sugar. This takes about 20-30 minutes.
  • 3. Cut the bacon into little pieces and fry them up. Use the cheap bacon, it doesn't really matter here. I take a package and cut the whole thing in half and use that. You want them all browned but not too crunchy. Drain them on a paper towel.
  • 4. By the time 2 and 3 are done, the potatoes should be ready. Don't let them get mushy. You want them firm enough to stay together when you pierce them with the fork.
  • 5. Mix the potatoes, onions, and bacon. Yum.
  • 6. Let these three things cool.
  • 7. Mix the remaining ingredients well, leaving extra chives out for garnish. I use wild chives when they are available because they are free, grow like weeds, and are easy to distinguish. The measurements are approximate. This dish rocks. You can leave out the chives but you are doing yourself a great disservice. Make sure you use fresh rosemary and chop it finely. The dried stuff will not do so well in this dish unless you let it sit for at least a day or two before eating.
  • 8. Gently stir in about half of the dressing. You want to be sure to not overdo it on the dressing, so I start with half and add as needed. Just go with what's right for you.
  • 9. Let it chill for an hour at least for the flavors to marry. And say yum again.

CARMELIZED ONION AND PEPPER POTATO SALAD



Carmelized Onion and Pepper Potato Salad image

This creamy potato salad is unique in so many ways. The caramelized onions and peppers add a little something different to the salad. It's great for those who like onions in a potato salad but not their crunch. Mixing mayonnaise and sour cream are slightly sweet and tangy but at the same time has a mellow flavor. There's a hint...
