Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound baby potatoes skin on
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoon salt or more/less to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pepper I actually like to use about 2 teaspoon for mine
  • 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dijon smooth mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar or light muscovado sugar
  • 5-6 ounce bacon or Pancetta, cooked and until lightly crisp and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoon green onion or scallions, shallots (or sub with celery)
  • 1 medium red onion sliced

Method
 

  1. Heat up a medium pot with water, take it to a boil.
  2. Add potatoes and cook until tender.
  3. Remove from the heat and run them quickly under cold water to stop the cooking process. Cut into half or thick slices. Set aside until you prep the dressing.
  4. The dressing for potato salad. In a glass jar mix all the rest ingredients (except bacon and green onion, red onion), close the lid and give it a good shake. (For best results, make ahead and keep in the fridge for all the flavors to combine well).
  5. In a large mixing bowl or serving bowl, add the potatoes, drizzle with dressing (add little by little until all the potatoes are covered, you may need less dressing, personal preference!)
  6. Garnish with bacon slices, more onion, cracked black pepper and serve with your BBQ meats. Enjoy!
