Ingredients

  • 2 lb. red skinned Idaho® potatoes
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 celery stalk thinly sliced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1/2 large onion chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 3/4 c. light mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons brown mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 hard boiled eggs chopped
  • 2 teaspoon paprika for garnish

Instructions

  • Cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces. Place them in a medium saucepan and cover with water.
  • Bring the water to a boil and cool over medium high heat for 10 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook 3-4 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain. Crumble and set aside.
  • Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the pan. Add the celery, bell pepper, onions, and garlic to the bacon fat and saute for 1 minute, just long enough for them vegetables to pick up the bacon flavor.
  • Remove from heat and immediately pour the vegetables into a large bowl. Add in the mayonnaise, brown mustard, white vinegar, celery seed, salt, pepper, and eggs. Mix well to combine.
  • Add the potatoes and the bacon to the vegetables and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Before serving sprinkle with paprika.
