TANGY, ZESTY OIL AND VINEGAR POTATO SALAD
The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!! Yumm....From Bon Appetit, 2009. **Note: To use smaller potatoes, cook time is about 5 minutes less.

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.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart when boiled.
- Boil the potatoes until they are tender but not mushy: You should be able to easily pierce them with a fork, but they should still have a little bit of a bite to them.
- Let the potatoes cool completely before dressing them: This will help to prevent the dressing from making the potatoes soggy.
- Use a light hand when dressing the potatoes: You don't want to overpower the flavor of the potatoes with too much dressing.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: This recipe is a great base for adding your favorite mix-ins, such as bacon, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, or chopped vegetables.
Conclusion:
Zesty Potato Salad is a classic side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it is always a crowd-pleaser. With its tangy dressing and colorful mix-ins, this potato salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
