MAKES ABOUT 12 SERVINGS
3 Lbs Red Potatoes
8 Green Onions
A few pinches Kosher Salt
2 Tablespoons Virgin Olive Oil
1 1/2 Teaspoon Red Wine Vinegar
8 ounces (1 Cup) Stone Ground Mustard (it specifically needs to be Stone Ground Mustard. Why? Because it tastes very good.)
Optional: 4 slices fried bacon, chopped up
Instructions:
Take your Red Potatoes and cut them up into roughly 1 1/2 inch pieces. DO NOT SKIN THEM!!! IT'S SO MUCH EASIER THIS WAY, IT TASTES BETTER AND IT LOOKS BETTER!!!! SO SAVE YOURSELF ALL THE TROUBLE AND JUST CUT THEM UP!!!
Place the cut up potatoes into a pot of water. Make sure that the water covers the potatoes, but at the same time is 2-3 inches lower than the top of the pot. You do this so it won't boil over.
Turn the stove on to medium high or high for roughly 20 minutes DO NOT COVER THE POT OR THE STARCHY WATER WILL BOIL OVER AN CAUSE AN ANNOYING MESS!!!!
Check the potatoes around the 15-20 minute mark. Try to insert a fork or knife into the chunk of potato. These utensils should enter a fully boiled potato easily and slide out cleanly. You can also taste the potato after letting it cool a bit. It should be smooth tasting, not crunchy in the slightest. If it is crunchy, back in the boiler for a few more minutes. Keep testing every few minutes until it is no longer crunchy and you can easily stick a fork in it and it comes out cleanly and smoothly.
Pour the potatoes and the water into a strainer, let drain and let it sit for a little on the counter or the fridge to cool down a little bit.
While the potatoes are cooling chop up the green onions so they look like this:
If you were planning on adding bacon, now is the time to start frying it up. Then let it cool for a minute or 2 and roughly chop it into pieces.
Take the cooled potatoes (They don't have to be chilled or super cold, just not piping hot) and add the stone ground mustard,
Kosher salt, olive oil and vinegar and give it a good stir. Stir until the potatoes are well and evenly coated.
Add in the green onions and bacon and give it another stir until the green onions and bacon are evenly distributed.
Tastes great both hot and cold
