Curly Endive and Potato Salad with Hot Bacon-Caraway Dressing

A Sunday supper meal-in-one: potato salad with bacon pieces, bitter endive tempered by a heated dressing, and a scattering of hard-cooked eggs. Caraway and cider vinegar add pungency and acidity. If you can find them, small pink-skinned, yellow-fleshed potatoes are usually the most flavorful and look cute in their jackets. Other yellow-fleshed types are fine too, but white ones may lack the savor and “muscle tone” needed to hold their own against forceful curly endive.
