Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, let cool slightly, then peel and dice into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

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

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop the red onion, celery, and green onions. Dice the dill pickles into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped red onion, celery, green onions, dill pickles, and fresh dill. Season with salt and black pepper.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined.

  2. 6

    Combine Dressing with Salad

    Pour the dressing over the potato salad mixture. Gently toss until everything is well coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
