Fingerling Idaho® potatoes in a medley of red, gold and purple add a pop of color and a twist on this German-style potato salad.
Ingredients:
1 pound fingerling Idaho® potatoes
4 to 6 slices chopped bacon, uncooked
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon bacon grease
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1½ tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup red onion, julienned
Instructions:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt.
Once boiling, add potatoes and cook until tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a separate pan, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, saving some of the grease for later in the recipe.
In a metal bowl, mix together dressing ingredients: cider vinegar, honey, extra virgin olive oil, reserved bacon grease, both sugars, granulated garlic, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper.
Cut cooled potatoes into ½" thick rounds and place in a bowl with red onions and bacon.
Toss with just enough dressing to coat (you might have extra) and serve.
