Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup diced green onions
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the potatoes and pierce them with a fork several times. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced green onions, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, white vinegar, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Once the potatoes are cooked and cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized chunks and add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing. Mix gently until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing.
  6. Add the crumbled bacon to the potato mixture and gently fold it in.
  7. Refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Serve chilled and enjoy!
