Blanch Green Beans: While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the green beans by trimming the ends and cutting them into bite-sized pieces. About 2 minutes before the potatoes are done, add the green beans to the same pot. Let them blanch for about 2 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain the potatoes and green beans together.
Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, tarragon vinegar, minced garlic, salt, dry mustard, chopped green onion, chopped fresh parsley, chopped sweet basil, and chopped fresh tarragon. Mix well to ensure all the flavors are evenly distributed. Allow the dressing to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together. The longer the dressing sits, the better the flavor will be.
Combine Ingredients: Just before serving, toss the warm potatoes and green beans with the prepared dressing. Make sure the potatoes are still warm as they will absorb the flavors of the dressing better. Gently mix until all the ingredients are coated evenly.
Serve: Transfer the Texas Potato Salad to a serving dish and garnish with crisp bacon crumbles for an extra burst of flavor and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious blend of flavors in this beloved family recipe!
