Hot Potato Salad

Ingredients

2 lb small new potatoes, preferably red-skinned
¼ lb sliced bacon 1 large egg
3 tablespoons medium dry white wine
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons sugar
¼ teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes salt and black pepper
½ cup chopped scallions
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Method

Cook the potatoes in boiling water until just tender. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into thick slices. Keep hot.


Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp and browned. Drain the bacon on paper towels, then crumble. Set aside.


Pour off all but 3 tablespoons bacon fat from the skillet. Lightly beat the egg with the wine, vinegar, sugar, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Add to the bacon fat in the skillet and cook very gently until just thickened, whisking constantly.


Add the dressing to the potatoes with the scallions and toss gently. Sprinkle the bacon and parsley on top and serve.
