Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into bite-sized chunks, keeping the skin on for extra texture and nutrients.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they're tender but not falling apart, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate pot, bring water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook them for about 10 minutes for firm, hard-boiled eggs.
- Remove the eggs from the boiling water and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel and quarter them.
- While the potatoes and eggs are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop it into small pieces.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Cut the red onion into thin slices.
- Using the same skillet with a bit of bacon fat, add the minced garlic and sliced red onion. Sauté over medium heat until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt and mustard until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the slightly cooled potatoes, sautéed onion and spinach mixture, chopped bacon, and quartered eggs.
- Pour the Greek yogurt and mustard dressing over the top.
- Gently toss everything together until the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Finely chop the chives and sprinkle them over the salad.
- Transfer the warm potato salad to a serving dish and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Make sure to use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes, for a better texture in the salad.
- Boil the potatoes with their skins on to retain more nutrients and flavor. Peel them after boiling if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Use fresh spinach for maximum flavor and nutrition. Baby spinach works particularly well due to its tender leaves.
- To cook bacon strips evenly, bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Let the boiled eggs sit in ice water for easier peeling.
- Mix the Greek yogurt and mustard together before adding to the salad to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes after mixing so the flavors can meld together.
