• to taste
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• knife
• cutting board
• pot
• baking sheet
• mixing bowl

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, then place them in a pot of boiling salted water. Cook the potatoes until tender, then drain and let them cool.

While the potatoes are cooking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the bacon slices. Brush each slice with maple syrup and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until crispy and caramelized. Allow the bacon to cool, then chop it into small pieces.

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Toss the cooked potatoes, chopped bacon, and green onions in the creamy dressing until everything is well coated.

Refrigerate the potato salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy the unique combination of flavors in this delicious dish!

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 880g, with 6 servings at around 147g each. One serving contains approximately 280 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the dressing for an extra tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the maple-glazed bacon.

I hope you give this unique potato salad recipe a try and customize it to your liking. Feel free to experiment with different herbs, spices, or additional toppings to make it your own. Enjoy!
