Tips:
- For the best potato salad, use waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, as they hold their shape well and won't get mushy.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender, but not too soft, to prevent them from falling apart.
- While the potatoes are boiling, cook the bacon until it is crispy and then chop it into small pieces.
- Rehydrate the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 15 minutes before chopping them, to soften them and bring out their flavor.
- Make the dressing ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish the potato salad with fresh parsley or chives before serving, for a pop of color and flavor.
