The Nanny's Cajun Potato Salad

Ingredients:

6 Strips of bacon

                                                              2 lbs. small red potatoes

1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1 green onion

1 clove garlic

2 hard boiled eggs, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

1 tbsp. cider vinegar

¼ tsp. celery seed

1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 tsp. Cajun seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a skillet, sauté bacon, green pepper and garlic just until edges of bacon become crispy. Drain on paper towels. Reserve a few tablespoons of the drippings from the bacon.

Place potatoes in cold water in a medium saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a small amount of the reserved bacon drippings. Boil until fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool. Cut into 1 inch cubes.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard, cider vinegar, celery seed, salt, and pepper.

Combine potatoes, green onion, and chopped eggs; add bacon, pepper and garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
