Instructions
Cook the Potatoes
- Clean the potatoes and quarter. Place in a large kettle filled with cold water and the 1 tsp. of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced by a fork, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. When they are still warm and cool enough to handle, slice into bite size pieces. Set aside.
Cooking the Bacon
- Slice the bacon into approximately 1 inch pieces. Fry until crisp. Remove and let drain on a paper towel. Save the bacon grease!
Tangy Dressing
- In the same skillet that I fried that bacon in, I fry the diced onion in approximately 1/2 Cup of the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until they turn translucent. For safety, turn off the heat and add the vinegar. Then turn the heat back on. add the sugar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Mixing the Warm Potato Salad
- Add the bacon to the potatoes and pour the dressing over the top, add the parley flakes and gently toss.
- Enjoy warm or cold. I like it best warm...enjoy the way you like.
