How to make Bacon Potato Salad

Tips from the cook

  • Use waxy yellow potatoes, like Yukon Gold: floury ones turn mushy and crumbly.
  • It may seem like a lot of vinegar, but the potatoes soak it up. With too little, the salad tastes bland.
  • Add some lettuce or sliced radishes, or dill and chives.
