Texas Country Potato Salad

Ingredients

  • 4 strips bacon
  • 1 pound small red potatoes, unpeeled (or peeled)
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 boiled egg, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

Cook bacon until crispy. Drain, reserving a few tablespoons of the grease, and crumble. Set aside.

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Add a tablespoon of the bacon grease and some salt and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes cool and then cut into bite-size pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for dressing.

Toss potatoes, onion, and egg in dressing. Add bacon. Serve chilled.
