Potato Salad With Mustard Dressing and Bacon image

This is not your typical potato salad. This makes a lot, but it can be easily reduced. It is also just as good, if not better the next day. This will make a wet salad. If you prefer a drier potato salad increase the amount of potatoes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup coarse grain mustard or 1/2 cup mustard, your favorite
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
1 lb bacon
5 lbs white potatoes, peeled if desired, cut into 3/4 inch pieces
4 stalks celery, sliced thin
6 green onions, sliced thin
1 1/2 cups red onions, chopped
9 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar and garlic in medium bowl to blend.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Cover, chill.
  • Cook bacon in large skillet until crisp.
  • Drain on paper towels.
  • Crumble.
  • Boil potatoes in large pot until just tender.
  • Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Cool for 15 minutes or so.
  • Mix bacon, celery, green and red onions, eggs and dressing into potatoes.
  • Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Chill.
  • Note: I usually hold back about ¾ cup of the dressing to toss with salad just before serving.
  • While chilling the potatoes soak up a good bit of the dressing and if not careful it can become dry. If this happens just moisten with a small amount of milk and stir to encorporate.
