This hearty potato salad is typically made from sliced potatoes, bacon, onions, and celery. A small amount of bacon fat is used to flavor the vinaigrette that seasons this dish. It is most often served warm or at room temperature for the very best flavor. Ingredients:
2 1/4 pounds potatoes (waxy variety, such as yukon gold |
4 slices bacon |
2 1/2 cups chicken broth |
1/4 cup white wine vinegar |
1 cup onions, diced |
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste |
1 teaspoon sugar, or to taste |
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons mild brown mustard |
1/2 bunch chives, snipped |
Directions:
1. Cook the potatoes in simmering salted water until just tender, about 15-18 minutes. Drain and dry. While the potatoes are still hot, remove the skins and slice the potatoes 1/2-inch thick.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the dressing. Cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon is crisp. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon, reserving the bacon fat in the pan; crumble the bacon into small pieces, and reserve.
3. Bring the chicken broth, vinegar, onions, salt, sugar, and pepper to a boil.
4. Combine the oil, rendered bacon fat, and mustard with the warm potatoes. Pour the boiling broth-vinegar mixture over the potatoes. Toss in the crumbled bacon and chives.
