By MIO Coalition June 2025

Ingredients

6 slices Bar-S bacon
7 medium potatoes
1 tablespoon (or more) salt
4 Hansen’s eggs, hardboiled and peeled
¼ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped celery
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Griffin’s yellow mustard
2 tablespoons Hiland sour cream
3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Scissortail Farms dill

Directions

Cook bacon until crisp. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings. Crumble bacon and set aside. Peel and cube the potatoes. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, and add water to cover. Add salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes. Add bacon drippings and shake to coat. Let the potatoes cool completely. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, chopped eggs, onion and celery. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, sour cream and vinegar, then stir into potatoes. Add pepper and salt, to taste. Garnish with crumbled bacon and dill.
