Ingredients:
| 2 pounds | small red-skinned potatoes , quartered |
| 1 pound | bacon, chopped |
| 2 | large eggs |
| 2 tablespoons | red wine vinegar |
| 3/4 cup | mayonnaise |
| 3 tablespoons | whole-grain mustard |
| 6 | scallions, finely chopped |
| 1 | medium red onion, diced |
| 1 tablespoon | sugar |
| kosher salt and freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, saute the bacon in a skillet over low heat until crispy, about 12 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat, cover and let stand 6 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to cool; peel and chop.
Drain the potatoes (do not rinse), transfer to a baking sheet and let cool 6 to 8 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, scallions, red onion, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl and add the bacon and hard-cooked eggs; fold in the mayonnaise mixture. Serve at room temperature.
