Ingredients 

  • 6-8 medium red skinned potatoes sliced into 1/2" rounds
  • kosher salt for cooking the potatoes
  • 1 cup frozen or canned corn
  • 1/2 lb bacon cut into lardons, I used slab bacon

Cider Vinegar Dressing

  • 1 whole shallot finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp cider vinegar
  • 8 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic clove grated
  • 1/2 tspn Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 tspn white sugar
  • 1/2 tspn kosher salt
  • 1/4 tspn ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Gather all ingredients before starting recipe.
  • Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid, shake well and set aside until ready to use.
  • Put sliced potatoes into a medium sauce pan filled with water. Season with kosher salt and bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat to fast simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are firm tender. Do not overcook.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, slice bacon and add to a cold skillet. Set heat to medium high and cook bacon, stirring, until most of the fat has been rendered, 5-6 minutes.
  • Remove bacon, set aside, drain the skillet of all of the the fat and add the corn. Cook corn on medium high until the kernels begin to char, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes when cooked and add to a shallow rimmed plate. Pour about 1/3 of the dressing on the potatoes. Gently toss to cover all surfaces.
  • After a few minutes, add the bacon and corn and drizzle another 1/3 of the dressing over the entire salad and toss again.
  • Serve this salad warm or at room temperature.
