Herbed Dijon Potato Salad

I love me a creamy af potato salad, you love a creamy af potato salad, but this recipe will take your love of mayo and turn it into a love of mustard. Trust me. This lighter version of potato salad is tangy, herby and just a bit bacony. It's a delicious side for a BBQ or potluck. I like letting it sit at room temperature for at least one hour to let the flavours hang out and get to know each other, but if you are impatient, don't worry, you can chow down asap.
