Ingredients
•
2 pounds small potatoes
•
5 large eggs
•
3 stalks celery, minced
•
1 cup mayonnaise
•
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
•
salt and pepper to taste
•
4 slices bacon
•
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
1
Place potatoes in a pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and cool in ice water.
2
While potatoes are cooking, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
3
Place 3 eggs into a large bowl and mash them in the bowl with a fork. Stir in celery, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
4
Cook bacon slices in the microwave until crisp, about 4 minutes. Crumble 2 bacon slices into egg-mayonnaise mixture.
5
Peel and chop cooled potatoes; stir into the bowl until salad is evenly combined. Slice remaining 2 eggs and arrange on top of salad. Crumble remaining 2 bacon slices over egg slices, then sprinkle with parsley.
