Hot Potato Salad With Bacon - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lb. whole potatoes (4)
6 slices bacon
oil
1 scallion
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
salt and pepper

Preparation

Put the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water.
Bring to a boil and cook until tender.
Drain.
When cool enough to handle, peel and cut into chunks.
Cook bacon in a large frying pan until crisp.
Drain on paper towels and crumble.
Measure the bacon fat; add oil to make 1/2 cup and return to pan.
Slice the scallion and cook in the fat until softened, about 30 seconds. Add the vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Bring to a boil and cook 1 minute.
Immediately pour the entire contents of the pan over the potatoes and toss to coat.
Add the crumbled bacon.
Taste for seasoning and salt and pepper, if needed.
