Categories     Bon Appétit     Salad     Side     Potato     Egg     Tomato     Olive     Bacon     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Sour Cream     Mayonnaise

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 medium russet potatoes (about 2 lb.), peeled, cut into 1" pieces
2 Tbsp. plus 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3 large eggs
4 slices bacon
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp. dill relish
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup halved pitted black olives from a can

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2". Add 2 Tbsp. salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, then let cool slightly (the potatoes should be warm when you dress them, which will help them soak up the dressing).
  • Meanwhile, cook eggs in a large saucepan of boiling water 8 minutes (whites and yolks will be set). Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Drain, peel, and quarter eggs.
  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning halfway through, until brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain and let cool slightly. Tear into 1" pieces. Reserve 2 Tbsp. bacon fat in pan.
  • Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add potatoes, eggs, tomatoes, olives, half of bacon, and reserved bacon fat and fold gently until combined and completely coated. Transfer salad to a platter and top with remaining bacon.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, flavorful bacon, eggs, and potatoes. If you can, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Cook the bacon and eggs perfectly. The bacon should be crispy and the eggs should be cooked to your liking. If you're not sure how to cook bacon or eggs, there are plenty of resources available online.
  • Use the right kind of potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as red potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes, are best for potato salad because they hold their shape well. Avoid using starchy potatoes, such as Russet potatoes, because they will become mushy.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. Potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a light dressing. A light dressing will allow the flavors of the bacon, eggs, and potatoes to shine through. Avoid using a heavy dressing, such as mayonnaise, which will overwhelm the other flavors.
  • Add some fresh herbs or vegetables. Fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill, can add a pop of flavor to potato salad. You can also add vegetables, such as diced celery, carrots, or peas.
  • Chill the potato salad before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the potato salad more refreshing.
