Steps:
- 1. Cut the potatoes (with skins attached, gotta love the extra vitamins) into bite sized pieces and get them boiling in water without salt.
- 2. "Fake" caramelize the onions by sweating them over medium heat with the butter and brown sugar. This takes about 20-30 minutes.
- 3. Cut the bacon into little pieces and fry them up. Use the cheap bacon, it doesn't really matter here. I take a package and cut the whole thing in half and use that. You want them all browned but not too crunchy. Drain them on a paper towel.
- 4. By the time 2 and 3 are done, the potatoes should be ready. Don't let them get mushy. You want them firm enough to stay together when you pierce them with the fork.
- 5. Mix the potatoes, onions, and bacon. Yum.
- 6. Let these three things cool.
- 7. Mix the remaining ingredients well, leaving extra chives out for garnish. I use wild chives when they are available because they are free, grow like weeds, and are easy to distinguish. The measurements are approximate. This dish rocks. You can leave out the chives but you are doing yourself a great disservice. Make sure you use fresh rosemary and chop it finely. The dried stuff will not do so well in this dish unless you let it sit for at least a day or two before eating.
- 8. Gently stir in about half of the dressing. You want to be sure to not overdo it on the dressing, so I start with half and add as needed. Just go with what's right for you.
- 9. Let it chill for an hour at least for the flavors to marry. And say yum again.
CARAMELIZED ONION POTATO SALAD
This is the recipe I make on a day where a little extra time isn't an issue and I'm craving comfort food. The tarragon vinegar and caramelized onions in this salad will leave you smacking your lips. You can serve this potato salad immediately, but it will taste much better after being refrigerated for several hours. Double or triple the recipe if you are making it for a large event. -Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

CARAMELIZED ONION AND BACON POTATO SALAD
I was looking for a lower-calorie way to make my husband's favorite summer side dish, as my traditional potato salad was laden with eggs and mayo! The tzatziki dip as dressing certainly did the trick! The tarragon in the onions gives that hint of 'what is that?' to this recipe! Can be served warm or chilled.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a heavy-bottomed skillet to caramelize the onions. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Be patient when caramelizing the onions. It takes time to get them to a nice, deep brown color.
- Use a variety of potatoes for a more flavorful salad. I like to use a combination of Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and fingerling potatoes.
- Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but still hold their shape.
- Use freshly cooked bacon for the best flavor. If you don't have time to cook bacon, you can use bacon bits instead.
- Add the dressing to the salad while it is still warm. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
This caramelized onion and bacon potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
