Notes
- Yield: 8 cups
- Prep the potatoes properly: Dry them well, cut them evenly, and roast cut side down with plenty of space on the pan so they get perfectly golden and crispy instead of steaming.
- Build better flavor: Use fresh herbs, crispy bacon, and season the potatoes well so every bite is flavorful and balanced.
- Protect the texture: Let the potatoes cool slightly before mixing, add the dressing gradually, and serve warm or slightly chilled for the best crispy-creamy texture.
- Reserve some bacon and herbs: Set aside a little bacon and herbs for garnish before serving.
