For an extra layer of flavor, try using smoked bacon instead of regular bacon. If you prefer a milder flavor, substitute feta cheese for the blue cheese. The potato salad can be made a few hours ahead of time. Just cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with iced water. Line a baking sheet with a clean dish towel. (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender. (18-20 minutes) Add green beans to the boiling water and blanch for 1 minute. Drain potatoes and green beans, then transfer to the ice bath for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process. Remove from the ice water with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet to dry. Once slightly cooled, cut the potatoes into quarters. (25 minutes)
03
StepIn a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crispy, turning occasionally. (10 minutes) Drain the cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces. (5 minutes)
04
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, mayonnaise, and stone-ground mustard. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
05
StepAdd the quartered potatoes and blanched green beans to the dressing, gently stirring to coat evenly. Top with the crumbled bacon, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced green onions. Stir lightly to incorporate the toppings without overmixing. (3 minutes)
