Build a better Potato Salad with mix-ins. It is advised to use a waxier potato for this dish, a yukon of fingerling. Adapted from: American Flavor, a cookbook by NY Chef Andrew Carmellini. Potatoes can be dressed hot or cold. If dressing while potatoes are cool, you will get a purer potato flavor. If dressed while hot, the potatoes will take on the flavor of the other ingredients. Cook = chill time Ingredients:
2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, substituting fingerlings, can us both |
1/4 cup olive oil, more if needed |
4 slices bacon, cooked in skillet until crisp |
1 cup vidalia onion, diced |
