Ingredients
- 907 grams Yellow potatoes
- 6 slices Bacon
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 120 milliliters Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the yellow potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Do not overcook to avoid mushy potatoes.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble into small pieces once cooled.
Step 4
Finely dice the celery and red onion. Chop the fresh dill and set all aside.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.
Step 6
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
Step 7
Add the crumbled bacon, diced celery, red onion, and fresh dill to the potatoes. Pour the dressing over the top.
Step 8
Gently toss the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful to avoid breaking up the potatoes too much.
Step 9
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 10
Serve chilled as a side dish with your favorite main course. Enjoy!
