Step 1
Start by adding some salt to a large pot of water and toss in the potatoes. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let them simmer until they’re tender, which usually takes about 20 minutes. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool before slicing them up and transferring to a big bowl.

Step 2
While the potatoes are cooling, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the yellow onion, bacon, celery, and pepper rings together. Keep stirring until the bacon is nicely browned and the celery has softened a bit—this should take around 10 minutes.
