Potato Salad Base

Bacon

Method

Potato Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool.

Bacon Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped red onion, diced celery, salt, black pepper, and crumbled bacon. Stir gently to combine, ensuring all ingredients are well mixed.

  2. 4

    Add Chives

    Add the chopped chives to the potato salad mixture and stir gently to incorporate them.

  3. 5

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
