Notes
- Red potatoes are best in this potato salad. They are a little waxy and they keep their shape well.
- To parboil the potatoes place in large pan. Cover with cold water and bring to a light boil. Boil for about 7-10 minutes for small potatoes and 12-15 minutes for large potatoes. Plunge the potatoes into cold water to stop the cooking process. This process can be done up to several days in advance
- The dressing can be mixed up to several days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- To get your potatoes nice and crispy do not stir too often. Just let them cook undisturbed for several minutes. If necessary set yourself a timer so you don’t stir too much.
- Don’t add the bacon and parsley until after the dressing has been added and you are ready to serve.
