Bacon, Beer & Cheddar Potato Salad
We can't lie, our favorite part of this recipe is that when we cook with beer we get to drink the rest of the bottle. We hope you enjoy this great take on a side dish.
Ingredients
- 3 Pounds Red Potatoes
- 8 Slices Bacon
- 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1 Celery Stalk, In 1/4 Inch Slices
- 1 12-Ounce Bottle Amber Ale (We Used Natty Greene'S Buckshot)
- 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 3 Tablespoons Brown Mustard
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Green Onions, In 1/4 Inch Slices
- 1 Cup Mild Yellow Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Black Pepper
Directions
Rinse potatoes and cut into bite size pieces. Place in pot, cover with water and boil until tender. Chop bacon into 1/4” chunks and place in medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Cook until golden brown, turn off heat. Drain grease, remove 1/2 bacon and set aside. Return remaining bacon to stove. Add garlic, celery, and onions and stir. Stir in 1/3 beer, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Drain potatoes and place back in pot they cooked in, along with another 1/3 beer. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring lightly to break up potatoes until liquid is almost gone. Remove from heat. Add mayonnaise mixture, green onions and 2/3 cup cheese and fold together. (Drink the remaining beer.) Prior to serving, stir in remaining bacon and cheese. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
