Red Potato Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon

Red Potato Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon

Serves 2-3

Adapted from Martha Stewart Living.

6 small red potatoes
3 T. coarse salt, such as sea salt
1/4 c. blue cheese + additional for garnish
1/2 c. buttermilk (or plain yogurt)
1 t. red -wine vinegar
1 t. Dijon mustard
2 green onions, chopped
3 strips of bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled

Place potatoes and the salt in a medium saucepan. Cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes can be pierced with a fork, about 12 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. Halve potatoes.
Meanwhile, mix blue cheese, buttermilk, vinegar, and mustard in a bowl until well combined.
Combine potatoes, dressing, green onions, and almost all of the bacon in a large bowl. Garnish with blue cheese, green onions, and remaining bacon.
