  • 2 2 2 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 8 8 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 to 2 1 to 2 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 1 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 3/4 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 2 2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 1 to 2 1 to 2 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 3 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1 1 pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/2 1/2 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves

Preparation

Step 1

For the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a pot with cold water and add the salt. Cover, bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, cut in half and transfer to a bowl.

Fry the bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, chop into 1-inch pieces and reserve.

For the quick-pickled onion: Combine the red wine vinegar, honey, chile flakes and dill in a small bowl and whisk until the honey is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup water and the sliced onions. Toss well to combine and submerge the onions. Set aside or transfer to a container with an airtight lid. The quick-pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, mustard, apple cider vinegar, pepper, Worcestershire and salt in a medium bowl until combined.

Pour the dressing onto the potatoes, add a third of the pickled onions, two-thirds of the chopped bacon and half the chopped parsley and toss. To serve, garnish with the remaining parsley, bacon and pickled red onions.
