Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Place potatoes in a large pot and just barely cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high but then turn the heat to low. You want to gently simmer the potatoes so their skins don’t crack.
In the meantime, cut the bacon into small strips or small pieces. In a heavy skillet fry the bacon until crisp. Drain the bacon fat and keep the bacon in a separate bowl.
Once the potatoes are barely tender, drain the water.
Peel and dice the onion. Add the onion pieces to a large bowl.
Add the oil and vinegar and mix to evenly coat the onion pieces.
Do the best you can to peel the hot potatoes (they are easier to peel than cold potatoes).
Optional: If you’d like to keep the potato salad warm, place the bowl over a bigger bowl with hot water.
Cut the warm potatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices and add them to the bowl with the onions.
Add the bouillon to a small measuring cup.
Finely chop the herbs and add them to the broth.
Add the sugar, salt, and pepper to the broth
Pour the broth over the potato salad and mix well, breaking apart any slices that are stuck together.
If using, add the bacon and mix it in.

Notes

waxy potatoes such as Yukon Gold are best for this recipe to keep the potatoes warm as you are making this dish, you can place the salad bowl in a bigger bowl with hot water
