Description
There’s only a tiny amount of mayonnaise, and you won’t even taste it because the tangy mustard really is the star and adds a ton of flavour! Great with a sliced hard boiled egg on top.
Ingredients
3 pounds baby red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 heaping cup diced sweet onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp reduced-fat mayonnaise
1 1/2 tbsp honey
1 1/2 tbsp cider vinegar
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. n a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, olive oil, pepper, and salt. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet (or two baking sheets if you need to).
3. Bake for about 40 min, or until the potatoes are fork tender, tossing them once or twice as they cook. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
4. Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon has browned and is crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Pour off all about 1 tbsp of the bacon fat in the pan. To the bacon fat, add the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 min, or until the onions have softened and are starting to caramelize. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 30 sec to 1 min, just until fragrant.
6. Transfer the onion and garlic mixture, as well as the bacon, to the bowl with the potatoes. Gently toss to combine. Set aside while you make the dressing.
7. In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, mayonnaise, honey and vinegar. Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and add the parsley to the bowl as well. Gently toss to coat the potatoes. You can serve immediately, but I found the potato salad was best after the flavours had the chance to meld for an hour.
8. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
Enjoy!
