How to Make Bacon And Scallion Potato Salad
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet; discard the rest.
- Coarsely crumble the bacon and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
- In a large pot, cover potatoes with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain potatoes in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
- Quarter the potatoes and add them to the bowl with the vinegar mixture. Gently toss to coat.
- Stir in the reserved bacon fat, crumbled bacon, scallions, parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm or cold.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
