Method

  1. Start by preparing the potatoes. Place them in a pot filled with cold water and add salt. Cover the pot and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are easily pierced with a fork, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes.

  2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and cut them in half. Transfer them to a bowl.

  3. In a large skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat until it becomes crispy. This should take around 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels. Chop the bacon into 1-inch pieces and set it aside.

  4. Now, let's make the quick-pickled onions. In a small bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, honey, chili flakes, and dill. Whisk the mixture until the honey is completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup of water and sliced onions. Toss well to combine and ensure that the onions are fully submerged. You can either set the bowl aside or transfer the mixture to a container with an airtight lid. The quick-pickled onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

  5. Moving on to the dressing, mix together mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, mustard, apple cider vinegar, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.

  6. Pour the dressing onto the potatoes
