Instructions

Boil the potatoes until tender. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm potato slices and chopped red onion.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Pour this glorious concoction over the potatoes and onion, gently tossing until each spud is coated in the golden elixir.
Sprinkle in the fresh chives and dill, adding a burst of color and fragrance to the mix. If you’re feeling adventurous, toss in the crispy bacon for an extra layer of indulgence.
Allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour, letting the flavors mingle and dance.
Serve it alongside a sizzling frankfurter, and you’ll be transported to a German beer garden without leaving your backyard. The tangy kick from the mustard, the crunch of bacon, and the fragrant herbs elevate Gail’s creation to a level where it competes for the spotlight at any summer gathering.
