• 0.5 cup white vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Serve greens over warm potatoes.

Step 2

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, toss with butter, and season with salt and black pepper. Keep warm.

Step 3

Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain on paper towels. Set aside skillet with bacon drippings.

Step 4

Gently toss dandelion greens and onion together in a large bowl until combined; set aside.

Step 5

Whisk vinegar, egg, and sugar together in a small bowl; season with salt and black pepper. Stir egg mixture into warm bacon drippings in the skillet; stir in bacon and flour. Whisk until thickened to the consistency of salad dressing, about 1 minute. Immediately pour over dandelion-onion mixture; toss to coat.
