How to Make Beery Potato Salad

  1. Wash and peel 2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but not mushy.
  3. While potatoes are cooking, prepare the bacon: Cook 6 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of your favorite beer (keep half for yourself!), 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons sugar, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
  8. Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to a large bowl. Pour the beer sauce over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
  9. Stir in the bacon and onion mixture.
  10. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Gently toss.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Best served chilled!
