Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and peel the potatoes, if desired. Cut them into bite-sized cubes.
- Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until they're fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the bacon strips until they are crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Peel and finely chop the shallots.
- Chop the chives and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously. The mixture should emulsify and thicken to a mayonnaise consistency.
- Add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped shallots, and half of the chives.
- Gently fold in the Dijon mustard mayonnaise until all ingredients are well coated.
- Taste the potato salad and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining chives on top for garnish.
- For best results, cover and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Tips:
- When boiling the potatoes, make sure to cook them until they are just tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. Overcooking can make them mushy.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before mixing them with the mayonnaise mixture to keep the salad from becoming watery.
- For added flavor, you can roast the garlic cloves before mixing them into the mayonnaise.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste; start with a small amount of salt and pepper, then add more as needed.
- For a healthier version, you can substitute half of the olive oil with Greek yogurt.
Your potato salad with Dijon mustard mayonnaise is ready to serve! This delicious, tangy dish is sure to be a hit at any meal or event. Enjoy the creamy, savory flavors and perhaps pair it with your favorite main course. Bon appétit!
