Potato Salad Texas Style

One of my favorite side dishes in the whole world. This is the perfect side for many, many different meals.

Serves: 8
Cook Time: 30 Minutes

Ingredients

• 4 strips Smithfield Naturally Hickory Smoked Bacon
• 1 pound small red potatoes, unpeeled
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 1 boiled egg, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper

Steps

Cook bacon until crispy. Drain bacon, reserving a few tablespoons of the grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Add a tablespoon of the bacon grease and some salt and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes cool and then cut into bite-size pieces.
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper for dressing. Add egg, green onion, potatoes and bacon. Serve chilled.
