- 1 cup red onion, finely chopped shopping list
- 3 slices smoked bacon shopping list
- 2 tbsp. bacon bits shopping list
- 2 tbsp. capers shopping list
- 1 handful fresh parsely leaves, finely chopped shopping list
- 4 tbsp. olive oil shopping list

- 1 tsp. salt, pepper to taste shopping list
How to make it
- Boil whole unpeeled potatoes in enough water to cover them for about 25-30 minutes, or until easily pierced with a fork. Do not overcook, as you don't want them to be mushy. Drain and let cool until you can handle them. Do not peel.
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Make 2 hard boiled eggs, peel and chop.
- In a skillet, cook 3 slices of bacon in a small amount of oil until browned on both sides. Remove bacon to paper towel to absorb extra fat. When slightly cooled, crumble the bacon in small pieces.
- In the same skillet, sautee 1 cup chopped red onion until translucent, for about 4 minutes.
- Add the onions, capers, hard boiled eggs, bacon pieces and bacon bits to the potatoes.
- For the dressing:
- Combine beer, vinegar and mustard in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle 4 tbsp. olive oil into the dressing mixture, while whisking.
- Pour dressing over potatoes. Add salt, pepper, chopped parsely and stir.
