Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Celery stalks
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 slices Bacon (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the potato cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the potatoes for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt while still hot.
If using bacon, cook the slices in a separate skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain, then crumble into small pieces once cooled.
While the potatoes cool slightly, prepare the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Dice the celery stalks and finely chop the red onion. Add them to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
Chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.
Gently fold the fried potatoes into the bowl with the dressing and vegetables until well coated. If using bacon, add the crumbled pieces to the salad and mix in.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer the fried potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
