i found this to be a nice side dish,,,,you can smoke the potatos for more taste if it is needed...................5 lbs potatoes (baking potatoes are NOT recommended, as they are too flaky) 1/2 cup diced smoked bacon 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3 tablespoons white vinegar 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 3/4 cup sliced green onions 1/4 cup chopped chives
- Place unpeeled potatoes in cold salt water and bring to a boil.
- Boil gently until potatoes are tender, but still firm.
- Do not overcook.
- Pour off the boiling water and allow potatoes to cool until easy to handle.
- (The drained, unpeeled Potatoes can also be placed in a refrigerator overnight).
- Peel cooled potatoes, slice, then place in a large bowl.
- Slowly sautÃ[emoji]169[/emoji] the bacon in a skillet until the bacon pieces are crisp and golden brown.
- Do not burn the bacon and do not drain the fat in the skillet.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Pour this mixture over the sliced potatoes in the bowl.
- Add the green onions and the chives.
