Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Irish butter
- 150 grams thick-cut bacon
- 4 stalks scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley
- 2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 100 grams sour cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the thick-cut bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then chop into small pieces.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the skillet and stir in the Irish butter. Set the skillet aside to use for the dressing.
Finely chop the scallions and parsley, then set them aside for later use.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and let them cool slightly. If desired, cut larger potatoes in half or quarters, leaving the skin intact for added texture.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the wholegrain mustard, white wine vinegar, sour cream, melted Irish butter with bacon drippings, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, chopped bacon, scallions, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the potato salad warm or at room temperature. For an extra touch, garnish with a few parsley leaves or additional chopped scallions before serving.
