Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot For boiling potatoes.
  • 1 Mixing bowl For combining ingredients.
  • 1 Whisk For mixing the dressing.

Ingredients
  

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes Choose firm, unblemished potatoes.

Vegetables

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halved.
  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup cooked turkey bacon Or a plant-based bacon alternative.

Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise Or Greek yogurt for a healthier option.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Garnish

  • to taste chives or green onions Optional for garnish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • First, wash and scrub 2 pounds of baby potatoes. Then, place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Afterward, drain the potatoes and let them cool completely.

Mixing Ingredients

  • While the potatoes are cooling, gather your other ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of halved cherry tomatoes, 1 cup of chopped romaine lettuce, and 1 cup of cooked turkey bacon or a plant-based bacon alternative. This combination will give your salad that classic BLT flavor!

Making the Dressing

  • Next, in a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a healthier option), 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. This creamy dressing is what ties the whole salad together.

Combining Everything

  • Once the potatoes have cooled, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then, add the potatoes to the bowl with the other ingredients. Pour the dressing over everything and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the potatoes!

Chilling

  • Finally, refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, making your BLT Potato Salad even more delicious.
