- Cut potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place potatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Add dressing just to coat; stir in bacon. This can be served warm or chilled.
Fun facts
- Leaving your potatoes slightly dirty while in storage is A-OK! Washing them before storage makes it difficult to dry properly and they can develop mold. The dirt also protects them from light which is what causes “greening” and sprouting. Wash & scrub your potatoes just before cooking to keep them fresh longer. Stored in a cool, dark place, your potatoes can last up to 8 months.
- Did you know Pine St. Market’s bacon ends are the exact same recipe as their bacon? If you plan on chopping up your bacon instead of serving it in strips, consider using bacon ends instead! They are ½ the price and just as tasty!
