INGREDIENTS
5 pounds yellow or russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound bacon, cooked until crisp and chopped
2 cups diced celery
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
FOR THE DRESSING:

1/2 cup barbecue sauce, your favorite kind
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Toss the potatoes in a large bowl with the salt, pepper and olive oil then spread out onto 2 baking sheets that have been sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake for 45 minutes, tossing twice during cooking, until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool.
Make the dressing by adding the barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, dijon, parsley, salt and pepper to a bowl and whisking together until smooth.
Add the roasted and cooled potatoes to a large bowl along with the scallions, celery and bacon. Pour the dressing over the ingredients in the bowl and toss together until combined.
Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour or longer if needed.
Toss before serving and garnish with chopped parsley.
