Country Dijon Bacon Potato Salad - 52 Grilling Time Secret Extras

It has been a big month of backyard entertaining at our little corner of the Cul de Sac.

Visiting family, friends, and neighbors have been dropping by every weekend and at least a time or two during the week.  Dishes like this lend themselves very well to a summer BBQ.  The dish is served cold (just in case the weather heats up).  And it actually tastes best if you make this several hours ahead of time.  This way it has several hours to rest and mix and mingle the flavors.

This does have a strong mustard taste.  The country dijon style has whole mustard seeds cooked into the mustard.  So each bite has a burst of intense mustard flavor.  If this worries you, substitute half country style with half smooth dijon... But really, I love this salad as is.  That savory mustard flavor, combined with the herbaceous flavor of the fresh rosemary and this is not your typical supermarket deli counter mustard potato salad... This one is special.

Oh... And BACON!  'Nuff Said
