Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
  2. 3/4 teaspoon salt
  3. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  4. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  5. 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  6. 1/3 cup finely chopped celery
  7. 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions, white and green parts
  8. 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  9. 4 hard-boiled eggs, coarsely chopped
  10. 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  11. 1 1/2 tablespoons Creole or other whole-grain mustard
  12. 4 strips crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

  2. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise and mustard together. Add this to the salad. Sprinkle the bacon over the salad, and toss gently but thoroughly to mix well.
  5. Plating/Assembly:
  6. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered, and serve slightly chilled.

We really enjoyed this! I cut it in half as we are only 2 and don’t eat much. I’m hoping to use it for 2 dinners. I did use 3 strips of bacon for the half recipe. I made it early in the day, but took it out of the refrigerator (put servings on the plates and the rest back in the fridge) about 1- 1 1/2 hours before serving. It definitely is better not so cold! I couldn’t get creole mustard so used an old style whole grain mustard. Will definitely make again!
