Recipe summary

A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour; you have to add your own!

Ingredients

For the Potato Salad

6 Yukon Gold potatoes
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
8 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper

For the Dressing

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons reserved bacon fat (optional but tasty!)
2 tablespoons hot dog relish

Directions

For the Potato Salad

Put potatoes in a 4-quart pot and cover with cold water. Add salt and bring to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife. Drain and cut into chunks.
Meanwhile brown the bacon until it is golden and crispy. Drain the bacon fat reserving a few tablespoons for the dressing.
Place potatoes, bacon, celery and green onions into a large salad bowl. Add the dressing and season with salt and pepper. Toss well.
