Blue Cheese and Bacon Potato Salad

Blue Cheese and Bacon Potato Salad
  • 5 cups iced water, or as needed
  • 1 pound small red potatoes
  • 1/2 pound fresh green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced


  1. Fill a large bowl with iced water. Line a baking sheet with a dish towel.
  2. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 18 to 20 minutes. Add green beans to the boiling water; blanch for just 1 minute. Drain potatoes and green beans; transfer to bowl of iced water to stop cooking process, about 5 minutes. Remove from iced water with a slotted spoon and place on prepared baking sheet to dry. Cut potatoes into quarters.
  3. Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool bacon slices on paper towels; crumble.
  4. Whisk vinegar, olive oil, mayonnaise, and mustard together in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Add potatoes and green beans; stir to coat. Top with bacon, blue cheese, and green onions; stir once to incorporate.
