Roasted Potato Salad with Bacon Dressing

 Roasted Potato Salad with Bacon Dressing Recipe


Roasted Potato Salad with Bacon Dressing Recipe

This roasted potato salad is packed with flavor from crispy bacon and a delicious, tangy bacon dressing. It's the perfect side dish for BBQs, picnics, or any casual meal.

Ingredients:

  • For the Roasted Potatoes:

    • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved or quartered (depending on size)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

  • For the Bacon Dressing:

    • 6 slices bacon, diced
    • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

Enjoy this delicious, warm Roasted Potato Salad with Bacon Dressing!
