Ingredients
2 pounds Red Bliss potatoes unpeeled and quartered
5 cups cold water
1 ¾ teaspoons salt
¼ pound thick-sliced bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon celery seed
⅓ cup cider vinegar
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
½ cup finely chopped scallions
Preparation
- Step 1
Place the potatoes in a pot with cold water and 1 ½ teaspoons of the salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer gently for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and place the potatoes on a serving platter.
- Step 2
While potatoes are cooking, place the bacon in a skillet and saute until crisp. Remove the bacon, reserving 1 ½ tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet. Place it over low heat and, using a wire whisk, make a roux by stirring in the flour and allowing it to cook for 5 minutes until thick and smooth. Remove from heat.
- Step 3
In a saucepan, warm the chicken broth. Whisk in the roux. In a small bowl mix together the mustard, sugar, celery seed, cider vinegar, the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Add the mixture to the roux mixture and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened slightly.
- Step 4
Pour sauce over potatoes, sprinkle with reserved bacon and scallions, toss and serve warm.
