Potato and Bacon Salad
This delightful potato and bacon salad boasts a creamy texture and is enhanced with the zesty kick of Dijon mustard. Plus, it's equally enjoyable when served as leftovers the following day.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small potatoes
- 5 large eggs
- 3 stalks celery, minced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water.
- While potatoes are cooking, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
- Place 3 eggs into a large bowl and mash them in the bowl with a fork. Stir in celery, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
- Cook bacon slices in the microwave until crisp, about 4 minutes. Crumble 2 bacon slices into egg-mayonnaise mixture.
- Peel and chop cooled potatoes; stir into the bowl until salad is evenly combined. Slice remaining 2 eggs and arrange on top of salad. Crumble remaining 2 bacon slices over egg slices, then sprinkle with parsley.
