Ingredients

4 slices bacon
2 pounds red new potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons red or white vinegar
1 bunch green onions chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 ounces blue cheese crumbled
1-2 tablespoons blue cheese salad dressing optional

Instructions

Place bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Cook longer if potatoes are bigger. Drain and cool potatoes. Dice potatoes, leaving the skins on.
In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, green onions, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes, bacon and cheese and toss to coat. It's great served warm, room temperature, or chilled. Best served the same day. Makes 5 Servings. *Note: You may want to toss in the bacon right before serving so that it doesn't get mushy.
