Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 3 large eggs
  2. 2 pounds assorted fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
  3. Kosher salt
  4. 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  5. 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  6. 2 stalks celery, sliced
  7. 1 cup green goddess dressing (see directions)
  8. Freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and run under cold water until cool; peel, chop and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until just tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and let cool 5 minutes.
  3. Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Combine the potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, bacon, scallions and celery in a large bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Combine 1/2 cup each mayonnaise and sour cream, 1/3 cup each chopped parsley and chives, and 1/4 cup chopped tarragon in a blender. Add 2 anchovy fillets, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon capers, the juice of 1 lemon, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper; puree until smooth. (Makes 1 1/2 cups.)

Loved this potato salad!  Used yellow potatoes since I had them on hand. Loved the bacon and the dressing combination!  Will be listed as one of my favorites!
