Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
- Peel the potatoes if desired. Leaving the skin on can provide additional texture and nutrients.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for uniform cooking.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooling, heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook until they are crispy, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once crispy, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess grease.
- Allow the bacon to cool, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Chop the chives finely.
- Roughly chop the fresh parsley. Set both herbs aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potato chunks, crumbled bacon, chopped chives, and parsley.
- Pour the dressing over the potato mixture.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until they are well coated with the dressing.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish.
- Serve the potato, bacon, and herb salad at room temperature or chilled, as a side dish for any meal.
Tips:
- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or red potatoes for the best texture.
- Cook the bacon until crispy to add a nice crunch to the salad.
- Chop the herbs finely to ensure they distribute evenly throughout the salad.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before mixing them with the dressing to help them absorb the flavors better.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
This Potato, Bacon & Herb Salad is sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a hearty side dish. The combination of crispy bacon, tender potatoes, and fresh herbs, all tied together with a zesty lemon-mustard dressing, creates a mouthwatering experience.
