Steps:
- To a large pot, add the potatoes, cover with water, add 2 teaspoons salt, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and allow potatoes to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until done and fork-tender. Drain and rinse potatoes under cold water to stop the cooking process; set aside. While potatoes cook, make the bacon.
- To a large skillet, add the bacon and cook over medium heat until done and as crisp as desired, about 10 minutes, flip intermittently. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and when it's cool enough, crumble it; set aside.
- To the skillet with the bacon fat, add the onion and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or until tender, stir intermittently.
- In the last minute of cooking, add the garlic, stir, and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Take skillet off the heat and set aside.
- To a very large bowl, add the olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and whisk to combine; set aside.
- Halve or quarter the potatoes depending on their size and add to the large bowl. Add the crumbled bacon, red onion and garlic (use a slotted spoon to remove because there will be excess bacon fat in the skillet; discard oil in a small container - don't pour it down the drain), corn, spinach, parsley, and toss well to combine.
- Taste potato salad and make any necessary adjustments, i.e. more salt, pepper, sugar, dash of extra mustard or vinegar, etc.
- Serve immediately if desired or cover and refrigerate until chilled. Potato salad will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 4 days.

BACON-CHIVE POTATO SALAD
I received this in an email from Taste of Home, it was originally submitted by Karen White of Lawrenceburg, TN. It's delicious! I used crumbled bacon instead of the bacon bits since I was serving it with BLT's, but bacon bits would be easier.

BACON AND SHALLOT POTATO SALAD
The German-style potato salad doesn't contain any mayonnaise, but is rich with bacon, whole-grain mustard and sweet fried shallots. It's best served warm while the bacon still glistens with fat, but is also nice at room temperature. Make it as close to serving time as possible. Or if you do make it ahead, consider popping it into the microwave for a minute or so just before serving.

Steps:
- Place whole unpeeled potatoes in a large pot with enough salted water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 25 minutes depending upon size. Drain and cut potatoes into 1 1/2-inch chunks as soon as you can handle them. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Meanwhile, fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Stir shallots into the skillet with the bacon fat and fry for a minute, until just slightly crisped. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk in shallots and bacon drippings. Crumble in bacon. Immediately toss potatoes with dressing. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish with parsley and more vinegar if you like and serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use fingerling or baby potatoes: These small, tender potatoes hold their shape well in potato salad and have a creamy texture.
- Cook the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy: You want the potatoes to be able to hold their shape, but you don't want them to be too hard.
- Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before dressing them: This will help the potatoes to absorb the dressing better.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: Hellmann's or Duke's are both good choices.
- Season the potato salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings until the potato salad is flavorful.
- Add the chives and bacon just before serving: This will help the chives to stay fresh and the bacon to stay crispy.
Conclusion:
Bacon Chive Potato Salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it creamy or tangy, with lots of bacon or just a little, this potato salad is sure to be a hit.
