Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

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.
