Smoky Potato Salad with Bacon

I made this potato salad with bacon up on a Sunday afternoon that I was entertaining family. It is a delicious recipe that can be served at any temperature, though room temperature seems to be when the flavors are at their best! Perfect to take to any party!

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• ½ pound bacon
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• ½ cup chopped red onion
• ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon ground paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 2 pounds red potatoes
• 1 tablespoon ground mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

At the same time, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and chop when cool enough to handle. Transfer 3 tablespoons bacon drippings to a large bowl.

Step 3

Add mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, paprika, mustard powder, parsley, chives, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and seasoned salt to the bacon drippings and whisk until combined. Stir in red onion and chopped bacon. Fold in cooked potatoes. Serve at room temperature.
