I’ve been making this recipe for years and it’s always a hit. My husband loves potato salad- seriously he would choose it as his last meal- and this is a dish he requests often. The potatoes make it hearty, the blue cheese gives it tang, you get a nice sweetness from the Vidalia onion, and of course, the crunchy, savory bacon adds another layer of flavor! How can you go wrong that?!

Warm Red Potato Salad with Bacon and Blue Cheese

Makes 8-10 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 lb bag of red potatoes
  • 1/2 a package of bacon approx 6-8 slices of bacon
  • 1 Vidalia onion diced
  • 4 oz crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup green onions chopped
  • olive oil to taste (approx 1-3 tbsp)
  • salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cut potatoes into 4th or 8ths depending on their size. You want them to be bite size.
  • Place potatoes in a large pot filled with salted cold water and bring to a boil over med high heat.
  • Boil until a fork can pierce the potatoes easily, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and add to a large bowl.
  • While the potatoes cook, cook bacon until crisp. Reserve 1 tbsp on bacon fat in pan.
  • Drain and chop bacon.
  • Add diced onion to the warm bacon fat in the pan (I like to use a cast iron) and cook over medium until softened.
  • Add bacon and cooked onions to the potatoes in the bowl and toss.
  • Finally sprinkle with green onions, blue cheese, salt and pepper, and olive oil (start with one tablespoon and add more if needed) and gently mix.
  • Delicious served warm or room temp. Perfect for picnics, parties, and potlucks!

Quarter small red potatoes then place in a pot filled with salted water.
Bring to a boil and cook until done. A good way to check doneness? Pierce with a fork. 
If the fork goes in easily, they are done!
A cast iron skillet is our preferred choice for searing and cooking items until crisp such as bacon, onions, and potatoes!
Once you are done cooking the bacon keep about 1 tbsp bacon fat in the
skillet to cook the onions in. This gives them delicious flavor and softens them without making them too greasy. 
 
 
 
Dice a sweet Vidalia onion and cook until softened with some reserved bacon grease.
 
Toss the warm quartered potatoes with the sauteed onions and green onions.
Then add the crispy bacon and blue cheese.

Finally add olive oil to taste. I start with 1 tbsp and mix then add more if needed. 
Season to taste with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Mix together and serve warm or at room temp.
Warm Potato Onion Salad with Bacon and Blue Cheese will soon be your favorite side dish too!

🍓 Today is National Pick Strawberries Day. Going to local farms and picking fresh produce is one of our favorite family traditions. We were lucky enough to go strawberry picking at @eckertfarms last weekend. It was the biggest farm we have ever been to and quite a memorable experience! We left with a basket full of fresh juicy berries, strawberry cider and pastries from the market, and soaking wet clothes (but smiles on our faces). I'll share more about the hail storm that hit us in the middle of the field later... ⛈️😨 #nationalpickstrawberriesday #farmfresh  #strawberry #eckerts #farmtotable #farmlife #illinois #springtime #familyfun #eckertfarms #eckertsmemories

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈
