Ingredients

Vinaigrette:

1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon coarse-grained mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 pounds red potatoes, diced into 1-inch cubes
Salt
6 bacon slices, chopped
1 medium sized red onion, diced
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill leaves, plus more for garnish

Directions

For the vinaigrette:

Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

Add potatoes to pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil, over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until tender. Drain and place in a large bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm, if necessary.

Add bacon to large saute pan and cook until crisp over medium heat. Remove to a paper towel-lined sheet tray and reserve. Add onion, dash of pepper and garlic to bacon grease and saute until tender, about 3 minutes. Add vinaigrette to vegetables. Let cook until reduced and thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add potatoes, dill and bacon to the pan and toss to coat with dressing. Allow to cook for 3 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Transfer potato salad to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh dill.

this was okay
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love, love, love the Neelys and their show, and this looked SO good when they cooked it that I had to try it. I was a... little disappointed in how it turned out. It had a crazy vinegar and mustard taste. Hopefully I just did something wrong. Good luck!Read more

Perfect Side Dish for Office Potluck
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I found this online and made it this morning for an office potluck. From start to finish it took about 30 minutes and... garnered rave reviews from my coworkers. I doubled the recipe and it fed 12 hungry people with NO leftovers. I didn't alter the ingredients or add anything other than what was stated. I will definitely make it again and have already shared the weblink with others so they can make this as well. Thanks Neelys!Read more

Are you kidding me???
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I literally just pulled this recipe off my stove after watching Gina and Pat make it this weekend, and my son has eaten more... than half already. My husband isn't even home yet!!! My son thinks bacon and potatoes are the foods of the Gods and now I'm in trouble because this will be the side dish of choice for him! As for the PDA from Gina and Pat (u-hem Ellen from TX).....all I can say is "YOU GO GIRL"!!! My husband and I cook together ALL THE TIME and we act exactly the same way. For anyone that is offended by it...IT'S CALLED LOVE PEOPLE!!!! Get over it....keep showin' the love girls!!!!!!! P.S. Has anyone been offended by Paula Deen butchering the English language, Y'ALL??? Don't get me wrong...I love her too, she's one of my faves but you can't single one out without the other....GET OVER ELLEN FROM TX!!!!!!Read more

Pretty good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I tried this last night. Didn't have white vinegar so I used apple cider. I also substituted chives for dill. We really... enjoyed this but I had to add more sugar than recipe indicated. Read more

Take the insults somewhere else!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The Neelys enjoy cooking, they enjoy each other. There is nothing wrong with showing that or the way they speak. If it... bothers people then this is not the show to watch - no comment necessary. If you don't like the recipe, or have suggestions to change then posting those comments is fine. But on the discussion involving German Potato salad. Not everyone has tasted German Potato salad so just because the recipe is similiar doesn't necessarily mean that they took it from that. Anyone can come up with a recipe to suit their tastes and it may be similiar or even the same as another recipe. Its not insulting to anyone. Its just life - who says that only one person ever came up with the same idea?Read more

Response to Ellen in TX
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After reading you comment and all the other comments, I have to say. Who are you to say that the Neelys don't speak proper... English. Please take a look at your comment, you can't spell. You spelled mustard and gestures incorrect. And as far as you having to throw your dish away, maybe it's your cooking and not the recipe. Everyone else loved it and you say your dish didn't turn out right. Maybe you can't cook. Read more
