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!
