Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     No Mayo

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 potatoes
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon water
4 slices bacon
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
½ cup cider vinegar
1 cup diced celery, divided
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  • Mix dry mustard with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes to develop flavor.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Reserve bacon drippings in skillet. Let bacon cool; crumble bacon.
  • Cook onion in reserved bacon drippings over medium heat until onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Stir mustard paste, sugar, 1/4 cup water, and cider vinegar into onion; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer vinegar dressing for 2 minutes.
  • Peel potatoes if desired; slice 3 potatoes into a salad bow and arrange into a layer. Sprinkle potatoes with half the crumbled bacon, celery, and parsley; season with salt and black pepper. Pour a little of the vinegar dressing over the layer. Repeat layer with remaining 3 potatoes, bacon, celery, parsley, salt, and black pepper; pour remaining dressing over the salad. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not mushy.
  • If you don't have time to let the potatoes cool completely, you can rinse them with cold water to speed up the process.
  • Be sure to dice the potatoes into small, even pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's or Duke's.
  • If you don't have celery, you can substitute diced carrots or radishes.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or parsley, for extra flavor.
  • Serve the potato salad immediately or chill it for later.
