Ingredients

3 pounds new potatoes
1 yellow onion, quartered
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 large red onion, diced
3/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1/4 cup canola oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

Preheat the grill to high. Place potatoes in a large pot with the onion and cover with cold water. Cook, on the grates of the grill, or on a burner, until tender. Drain, discard the onion, and cut the potatoes into cubes when cool enough to handle. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and cover to keep warm.

Place a large saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the rendered bacon fat and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully add the vinegar and mustard seeds and cook for 2 more minutes. Whisk in the canola oil and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the hot dressing to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Fold in the green onions and parsley. Season again with salt and pepper, to taste.

Missing flour and sugar!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe is NOT good without letting the bacon drippings thicken with flour and then slowly whisking in water and sugar... with the vinegar. It will be a thicker sauce and more tasty. WIthout the flour, water and sugar this recipe is horrible; bobby flay's thin vinegar sauce is absorbed by the potatoes and it is not creamy as is. i've done it both ways and it is a big hit when it is thickend and creamy with the sugar to balance out the vinegar taste.

More uses for left overs
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was very easy to make and I used exact amts, of all ingredients. The taste was excellent and brought raves from... those partaking in eating this salad. Then with the help of my girlfriend she created a frattata with the addition of some italian sausage,cheese in the mixture and eggs of course and then finished off under the broiler with parm/regiano cheese browned and crispy and it was absolutely incredible.

Awesome recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Recipe is the BOMB! Correct to all to suggest 1/2 vinegar. I used Apple cider vinegar. 1/2 amount is perfect. Plus... awesome to use so much red sweet onion. Really balances the tartness of vinegar and mustard. Also used Dijon mustard instead of mustard seeds. The longer the stuff sits, the better it gets! Cheers and Enjoy!Read more

THE Best Potato Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make this potato salad at every bbq I have at home, and it's always a hit! I do agree with some of the comments about it... being too vinegary at first... but when you cut that in half or to taste, it's superb! I also use cilantro instead of parsley. Everyone who tries it for the first time always comments about how they like it so much better than the mustard or mayo based potato salads.Read more
