- 1/4 cup diced white or yellow onion
- 4 slices of bacon cut into bacon bits

- Add diced onions
- Drain potatoes
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch sections

Notes
- I recommend Yukon Gold Potatoes, but any potato should work.
- Dijon Mustard is a flavor driving ingredient, so choose one that you really like.
- Allow the potatoes to cool a bit before you cut and mix.
- This dish can be served hot or cold, but I prefer cold the best. Do what you like.
