Ingredients
- 4 pounds red potatoes, washed and cut into 2-inch cubes
- Kosher salt
- 6 strips bacon, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 3 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapenos
- 1/2 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
Directions
Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by 2 inches. Salt well and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until soft, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1 cup of water in a separate bowl. Return the pot to the stove top over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and fry until crisp, then remove it to a paper towel lined plate.
Carefully remove all but 3 tablespoons of bacon fat and return the pot to the heat. Add the garlic, scallions, jalapenos, paprika, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Cook over medium heat until the scallions and jalapenos are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the flour, and stir until the vegetables are evenly coated, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sugar, vinegar and reserved 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened and slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and the crispy bacon. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

I'M SENDING THIS RECIPE TO MY FRIENDS
Her finesse in the kitchen may leave a little to be desired (sorry Sunny, but her execution of her recipes have never failed me. Her little tip regarding the corn starch for crunch…I keep in my pantry.
That being said, I will never make my potato salad with mayonnaise again (.I think The only thing I changed was the turkey bacon vs. bacon. That’s it….Get ready or summer outings …this is D---licious delicious
That’s the word from everyone who shared this recipe..
Thanks Sunny

Sunny's dishes are always delicious! I am going to make this again, only without the bacon, not that I don't love bacon, I just think that the grease is a little too fatty for me once the salad has been cooled down. Otherwise, GREAT flavor!

Delightful!!! I'm always looking for mayo-free potato salad recipes and this is my new favorite! I used chile powder instead of hungarian paprika because I couldn't find it at my local super market. I believe next time I will use smokey paprika and see what that's like! Making it for a camping trip this weekend!!!
