Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups neutral-flavored oil (such as vegetable, canola or peanut)
2 1/2 pounds small red bliss potatoes, quartered
3 cloves garlic, smashed
Kosher salt
6 slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Make the mayonnaise: Put the egg yolks in a food processor and add the vinegar, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Turn on the machine and very slowly start to drizzle in the oil (drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then you can start adding it in a slow, steady stream). If the mayonnaise is too thick, add a few drops of water; if it is not thick enough, add a little more oil with the motor running.
  • Make the salad: Put the potatoes and garlic in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches and season generously with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the onion, celery and vinegar. Season with salt.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl (discard the garlic). Add the bacon-onion mixture to the hot potatoes and stir to incorporate. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise and the mustard and season with salt. Refrigerate until cold.

This potato salad is a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I usually make a big batch of mashed potatoes for dinner, and then use the leftovers to make potato salad the next day.

I added some chopped bacon and celery to this potato salad, and it was delicious! It's a great way to change up the classic recipe.

This potato salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before a party or picnic so that the flavors have time to meld.

The potatoes were a bit too firm for my taste, but the dressing was delicious.

The potato salad was a bit too zesty for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less lemon juice or vinegar if you don't like things too tangy.
