6 potatoes
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon water
4 slices bacon
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
½ cup cider vinegar
1 cup diced celery, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided

Steps:

  • Mix dry mustard with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes to develop flavor.

  • Peel potatoes if desired; slice 3 potatoes into a salad bow and arrange into a layer. Sprinkle potatoes with half the crumbled bacon, celery, and parsley; season with salt and black pepper. Pour a little of the vinegar dressing over the layer. Repeat layer with remaining 3 potatoes, bacon, celery, parsley, salt, and black pepper; pour remaining dressing over the salad. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
