Ingredients

  • 2 lb small red potatoes, quartered
  • 8 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions

Steps

  • 1
    In 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven, place potatoes. Add water to cover potatoes. Salt water generously. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook potatoes about 15 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork; drain.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • 3
    Add vinegar, oil, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper to bacon drippings. Cook over low heat 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved.
  • 4
    In large bowl, mix potatoes, bacon, green onions and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Pour oil mixture over potatoes; toss to coat. Serve warm. Refrigerate leftovers.

  • Be sure to use new potatoes instead of baking potatoes. New potatoes contain more starch than baking potatoes and hold their shape better when cooked and tossed with other ingredients.
  • Serve this potato salad at any picnic with grilled bratwurst.
