Ingredients:
Instructions:
-
Roast the Potatoes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside, flipping halfway through for even roasting.
-
Cook the Bacon:
- While the potatoes are roasting, cook the diced bacon in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the bacon until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat for the dressing.
-
Prepare the Bacon Dressing:
- In the same skillet, add the finely chopped red onion and sauté in the reserved bacon fat for about 2 minutes, or until soft.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, sautéed onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stir in the crispy bacon and mix well.
-
Assemble the Salad:
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the bacon dressing over the warm potatoes and toss gently to coat.
- Garnish with additional bacon pieces, fresh chives, and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve this salad warm or at room temperature.
- This salad pairs well with grilled meats, burgers, or a variety of summer dishes.
- For a creamy twist, you can add a bit of sour cream to the dressing.
Tips:
- If you want to make this ahead, you can roast the potatoes and cook the bacon earlier in the day, then assemble and dress the salad just before serving.
- For extra flavor, you can add a small handful of crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese to the salad.
- If you're looking for a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise.
