Red Creamer Potato Salad with Bacon-Mustard Vinaigrette

Chef notes

Vinaigrette-style potato salad is great in the summer because it's lighter and really goes well with grilled and barbecued foods. Plus, it has bacon. And bacon makes everything better.

Technique tip: Cooking the potatoes whole, then cutting them in half before dressing helps to make sure they don't soak up too much water. Also, dressing the salad while warm ensures that the potatoes absorb as much bacon flavor as possible, making each bite perfectly delicious.

Swap option: You can swap in any potato or try a mixture of varieties for an interesting twist.
