# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 3 pounds washed, unpeeled red potatoes, diced large
02 - ½ cup jarred salad dressing or mayonnaise
03 - ¼ cup plain yellow mustard
04 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
05 - 3 tablespoons white sugar
06 - 1 small red pepper, diced small
07 - 2 tablespoons minced red onion
08 - 3 tablespoons chopped capers
09 - 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro or parsley
10 - 8 slices smoked bacon, cooked crisp and roughly chopped
11 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 - Pinch of salt

# Instructions:

01 - Simmer the diced potatoes slowly in boiling salted water just until fork tender. Do not overcook the potatoes or they will fall apart in the salad.
02 - Drain the potatoes and scatter them on a cookie sheet to cool quickly. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until completely cooled.
03 - Mix together all of the ingredients except the potatoes.
04 - Pour the mixture over the cold potatoes and toss well to coat evenly. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, ensure the potatoes are fully cooled before mixing with the dressing to prevent a soggy texture.
