New potato salad recipe that is truly wicked.

I was messing around one night and was going to do my normal potato salad and didn't have all the stuff at home so I just took what I had and experimented a little. What came out of this idea was nothing short of something that would make your tongue do back flips. Here are the things you'll need.

3 Large Idaho Russet Potatoes (diced)
4 slices of thick cut bacon (optional)
1/2 a Jar of Marinated Fire Roasted Red Peppers
3 tablespoons of minced Garlic
1 cup Mayonnaise
1/4 cup of whole grain Mustard
3 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp Hot Sauce
1 tbsp Fresh Ground Pepper
2 tsp Coarse Sea Salt

Boil diced potatoes until fork tender in salt water. While potatoes are cooking your going to build the goodness that goes into this ridiculous potato salad. The bacon isn't necessary but it gives the salad a really good kick of smoke flavor that is another addition to the already complex flavor profile that this salad has. Your going to pre-slice the bacon and chop it up really fine. I suggest Wright Brand Bacon but any super smoky bacon is good. Fry up the bacon bits until crispy and remove it from the pan. Drain off excess grease and use the remaining coating in the pan for the peppers and garlic. Chop the marinated peppers really fine and put them into the pan on medium heat until completely cooked through and slightly seared. 2 minutes before you take the peppers off add the garlic and toast it with the peppers. Remove the mixture into a small bowl or something that will just hold the contents for a little while. Once the potatoes are fork tender drain and put them in mixing bowl and place them in the freezer for 10 minutes to shock the temperature down. Mix in the bacon, pepper and garlic mix, mayo, mustard, Worcestershire, Hot Sauce, Salt, and Pepper into the potatoes and mix until all potatoes are coated in mixture. Cool until dinner time and serve cold.
