- ½ pound Bacon cut into ½" slices
- 1 medium Sweet Potato peeled, cut into 1-1½" chunks
- 1 pound Red Potatoes cut in half
- 1 pound Yukon Gold Potatoes cut into 1-1½" chunks
- 2 Tablespoons Avocado Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Pepper
Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing
- 5 Tablespoons White Vinegar
- ⅓ cup Avocado Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Celery Salt
- ⅔ cup Green Onions sliced thin
Preheat your grill.
Slice bacon into ½" pieces, then add to a hot skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon bits are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove bacon bits with a slotted spoon and let drain on a paper towel. Set aside.
Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts of salted water to a boil (or enough to cover the potatoes). Add the prepared potatoes and boil for 15 minutes, or until almost completely cooked - you should be able to put a fork into them without much force. Strain the water off the potatoes, then add the avocado oil and toss to mix.
Spray the grill with non-stick cooking spray, then place the potatoes onto the hot grill and season with the salt and pepper.
Grill the potatoes for 4-5 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and have grill marks. Flip them over and grill another side for another 4-5 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the grill and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, avocado oil, dijon mustard, celery salt, and green onions and whisk well.
To the bowl with the grilled potatoes, add the bacon bits and lightly drizzle the dijon mustard vinaigrette. Toss the potato salad, seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
Serve the potato salad warm, or chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving cold. Enjoy!
