A Few Quick Notes Before You Begin
- Potato Type: Use waxy potatoes if possible. They’re low-starch, high-moisture and good at maintaining their shape which makes them an ideal choice for potato salad, casseroles, roasts or anywhere where you want your potato to still look like a potato after cooking.
- Waxy potato varieties include: new potatoes, baby potatoes, fingerling potatoes, red potatoes and Charlotte potatoes. A good rule of thumb: if the skin is red or yellow it’s a waxy potato.
- Potato Size: Try to cut the potatoes in equal sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Make it low FODMAP: Just make sure to use only the green parts of the spring onions. The white parts are higher in fructans (FODMAPs) which can be tricky for people on a LOW FODMAP diet.
- Spruce up the dressing: This dressing packs a punch, but it is quite basic. Feel free to play around with flavors by adding a few extra ingredients. Try a clove or two of garlic, grated parmesan, dried herbs, chili flakes, fresh lemon juice, etc.

Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and 2 tsp of salt. Cover with about 2-inches of cold water. Bring to a boil then reduce the temperature to maintain a gentle simmer. Leave uncovered and cook for about 12-15 minutes or until you can easily pierce your potatoes with a knife or fork.
- Boil Eggs: Carefully place the eggs in a different pot and cover with 2-inches of cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off and cover with the lid. Leave the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
- Peel Eggs: Drain the water and run the eggs under cold water to keep them from cooking further. When the eggs have cooled enough, remove the shells then cut the hard-boiled eggs into quarters.
- Vinaigrette: Combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard and salt together in a small cup or jar and whisk together. Set aside for a moment.
- Salad Assembly: Place the boiled potatoes, eggs, parsley, chives, green onions, and bacon in a large salad bowl. Toss together until combined. Add the vinaigrette and toss again until everything is evenly coated. Taste your salad season with more salt & black pepper as you see fit.
- Enjoy: Serve ASAP for cover and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days before serving.
Notes
Make it Low FODMAP: make sure to only use the green parts of the spring onions.
