How to Make Bacon Potato Salad
- Place 5 cups of potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain potatoes in a colander. (Tip: Place chopped onion in the bottom of the colander to slightly soften the onions).
- While potatoes are still warm, gently mix in 6 slices cooked and crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture.
- Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
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.
