Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Boil Potatoes: Place the peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Cook Bacon: In a large skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel to drain.
- Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced red onions to the bacon fat. Sauté over medium heat until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the brown sugar and chopped rosemary over the onions, stirring to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Mix Dressing: Pour in the vinegar and olive oil, stirring to combine thoroughly. Let the mixture heat through for another 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix Potatoes and Bacon: In a large serving bowl, combine the drained potatoes, crispy bacon, and the warm onion dressing. Toss gently to coat all the potatoes with the dressing.
- Add Fresh Chives: Sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the top of the salad.
- Final Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve Warm: Serve the salad warm, immediately after it's prepared for the best flavors.
Tips:
- Choose waxy potatoes like red bliss or Yukon gold for better texture and flavor in your salad.
- Cook the potatoes until they are just tender to prevent them from becoming mushy when mixed with other ingredients.
- For extra flavor, you can add a clove of minced garlic to the caramelized onions while they cook.
- Make sure to slowly caramelize the onions over low heat to achieve a rich, sweet flavor without burning them.
- Crisp up the bacon strips completely before mixing them in to enhance their crunchy texture in the salad.
- Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes after mixing to let the flavors meld together before serving.
- Feel free to add other herbs like parsley or dill to give the salad a fresh touch.
There you have it—a flavorful warm potato salad that's sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of tender potatoes, caramelized onions, and crispy bacon creates a delightful medley of textures and tastes. Enjoy this warm salad as a perfect side dish to any meal or as a satisfying standalone treat. Bon appétit!
