Ingredients: 1/2 pound Schaller & Weber slab bacon, diced in cubes or cut in lardons 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and halved Kosher salt, to taste 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar 1 - 2 tablespoons honey, to preference of sweet taste and optional 1 1/2 tablespoons whole grain mustard (with seeds) 1 1/2 tablespoons Schaller & Weber Dusseldorf horseradish mustard Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste 3/4 cup fresh parsley, washed, dried and roughly chopped Directions: Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, salt generously, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until fork tender but not falling apart, approximately 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, put the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until bacon is crisp and fat is rendered, about 7 minutes. While the bacon is cooking, add the vinegar, honey and both mustards to a large mixing bowl, and blend. Cut potatoes into rough bite size pieces and add to mixing bowl. Stir everything together, fully coating potatoes with mustard mixture. Once bacon has cooked, with a slotted spoon, remove the hot bacon and add directly to bowls with potatoes and toss well to coat. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature. To infuse even more flavor, try using a can or bottle of a dark beer with the water when boiling your potatoes. For non-beer lovers, use a bit of vegetable or chicken stock with your boiling water. Yukon golds are great for a creamier texture potato salad when serving cold, however, Red Bliss, Fingerlings and Yellow Finn potatoes all work great for that too! I prefer waxier potatoes for serving temperature options and they hold up to all the stirring better than the heavier starch potatoes, such as Russets. On the other hand, Russets also have some magic when serving this salad warm. I add a tablespoon or two so of the rendered bacon fat when using thick skinned or heavier starch potato, such as a Russet, to create that creamier mouth feel. Other vinegars also work well here, try apple cider for a bit more sweetness. Although, I prefer the white for a more classic flavor. Adding a bit of finely chopped rosemary or chives is a fun twist! For pickle lovers, try tossing in a bit of your favorite finely chopped pickled anything. Such as gherkins, bread & butters, capers, cauliflower , okra, green beans, etc.. You are the chef, so have fun making it your own and to your family and friends palates!
