Beer and Bacon Potato Salad



Ingredients:

3 bottles Samuel Adams Boston Lager...
3 pounds baby potatoes
8 eggs
2 packages bacon
1/2 red onion, diced
Half head celery, diced
1 bunch scallions
1/4 bunch dill
16 ounces mayonnaise (I use Baconnaise)
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
3 dashes red wine vinegar

Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of Samuel Adams Boston Lager to a boil. Add the potatoes, and boil in beer for about 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and let cool. Set aside.

2. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and hard boil the eggs for about 12 minutes. Let eggs cool.

3. Fry bacon to your degree of crispyness, crumble and set aside. NO NIBBLING!!!!!

4. Once eggs are cool, peel and chop.

5. In a large bowl, mix diced red onion, 1 bunch finely sliced scallions, diced celery, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, and dill.

6. Once potatoes are cool, add to bowl of ingredients and smash together so they are half mashed.

7. Add all wet ingredients, salt and pepper and mix well. Add about a tablespoon of the bacon grease for a little added flavor.

Damn, now I need to go buy beer and taters. I think we have everything else. When I told SW no nibbling, she laughed.

I just read this recipe to my husband... He said "aside from mango cheesecake, ive never heard a recipe that sounds as good as it probably is". Unfortunately for him, I don't bake. At all. Ever. Perhaps I'll try this though. Hell love it.

Robert, FYI, nibbling the cook is not only allowed, it's highly recommended.

Boots, I have a dozen quick and easy cheesecake recipes that even the most novice baker can handle. If I had you in a kitchen for 3 days, I'd turn you into Betty Freakin' Crocker.

wirecutter, I am, after all, his wiser angel. 0:-)

I generally buy bacon in 3 pound packages. Is that too much for this recipe?
