Equipment

Ingredients
  

For The Salad

  • 5 lbs. red potatoes Cut into 1/2 inch cubes with the skin on
  • 1/2 lb. bacon Fried and crumbled
  • 6 eggs hard boiled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup onion chopped

For The Dressing

Instructions
 

  • Cut the red potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until they are fork-tender, which should take about 15-20 minutes. While potatoes are cooking dice 1/2 cup celery and 1/2 cup onion set aside. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
  • In a large skillet, fry the bacon until it's crispy. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain the excess fat. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  • Hard boil the eggs (about 10 minutes in boiling water), then cool them under cold running water. Peel and chop into small pieces.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mayonaise, sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and mustard until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped hardboiled eggs, diced celery, and chopped onion.
  • Pour the dressing over the potato mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
