Instructions:

In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add the corn kernels and saut for 3-4 minutes until they start to turn golden brown

Remove from heat

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to make the dressing

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly

Then, place them on a baking sheet and gently smash each potato with a fork or potato masher

Pour the prepared dressing over the smashed potatoes and gently toss to coat

Add the sauted corn and crispy bacon to the potato mixture
