Boiling & Prepping the Red Potato

Before you make this red potato salad, you will need to pre-prep by washing and boiling your red potatoes! The best way to do this is to wash red potato skins and then cut potatoes up into approximately 1/2 inch cubes. Your cubes do not have to be perfect, but the sizing will determine how long you boil. See rest of recipe for potato salad below for tips on boiling.

How to make Red Skin Potato Salad (with bacon!)

Add potatoes to a large sauce pan and fill with cold water at least 1″ above the potatoes.

Heat on medium high for 15 minutes until potatoes are fork tender. Take care not to over boil potatoes so they are not mushy.
