Ingredients:
- 910g small red-skinned potatoes, quartered
- 450g bacon, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 6 scallions, finely chopped
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Instructions:
- Place the potatoes in a medium-sized pot and ensure they are covered with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, which should take around 15 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a pan over low heat until it becomes crispy, which should take about 12 minutes. Once done, place the bacon on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the eggs to sit for 6 minutes. Drain the hot water and rinse the eggs under cold water to cool them down. Peel and chop the eggs once they are cooled down.
- After draining the potatoes (do not wash them), transfer them to a baking sheet and let them cool for 6 to 8 minutes. In a small bowl, mix together the vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, scallions, red onion, sugar, salt, and pepper. Move the potatoes to a large bowl and add the crispy bacon and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Gently stir in the mayonnaise mixture. Serve the dish at room temperature.
