Ingredients

4 strips bacon
1 pound small red potatoes, unpeeled
1 green onion, sliced
1 boiled egg, chopped
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper

Directions

Cook bacon until crispy. Drain, reserving a few tablespoons of the grease, and crumble. Set aside.

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Add a tablespoon of the bacon grease and some salt and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes cool and then cut into bite-size pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for dressing.

Toss potatoes, onion, and egg in dressing. Add bacon. Serve chilled.

Great Tasting and Very Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This potato salas was very simple to make, especially since you don't have to mess with peeling the potatoes. I made the... mistake of not cooking the potatoes QUITE enough so it was a little crunchy. The hardest part of the recipe is cooking the potatoes to just the right point...soft, but not so soft they mash when you mix the salad. Beyond my own error, the flavors in the recipe were really, really good - the bacon makes it wonderful!Read more

This is definately a nice twist on the classic potato salad...and my family loves it! It definately helps that it has bacon... in it! Bacon always makes everything better!Read more

Followed recipe and added 1 more green onion and 1/2 stalk celery. Used lowfat Hellmans. My husband thought it had a bit... too much bacon so next time I'll do 3 slices. To get hard-boiled eggs without the dark circle: Put eggs in a small pan - cover w/ plenty cold water - bring to a boil - remove from heat right away and cover for 10 minutes - then set eggs in ice water bath 10-15 minutes.Read more
