Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs Potatoes, Baby
  • 6-7 cups Water
  • 2 tbsp Sea Salt, fine plus more for seasoning
  • 5 Green Onions (Scallions) use the white and green parts
  • 6 pieces Bacon
  • 2 tbsp Parsley, flat leaf
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard

Instructions
 

  • Scrub the potatoes then add them to a large pot.
  • Cover the potatoes with water ensuring they have enough room to move around in the pot.
  • Add the 2 tbsp of salt to the water.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and boil the potatoes until they are fork tender approximately 40 minutes.
  • Add parchment paper to a large baking sheet and place the bacon onto the parchment paper in an even layer. Place the baking sheet into the oven and turn the oven on to 400°F.
  • Cook the bacon until slightly crispy approximately 12 minutes. You can cook it more or less as desired.
  • Once the bacon is cooked, remove it from the oven and drain the slices onto a paper towel lined plate and set aside. Once cooled cut or crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  • Wash and trim the ends off of the green onions, then slice the green onions (including the white part) and set it aside.
  • Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain and let them sit for a few minutes to cool off.
  • When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and place them into a large serving bowl.
  • Add the mayo, dijon mustard, crumbled bacon, green onions and gently combine.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, and a bit more dijon if you want it a bit more tangy.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes with the minced parsley.
