1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes on a lined baking sheet; drizzle with cooking oil and sprinkle with Cajun Blend. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing in between until potatoes are golden brown and fork tender.
To make the dressing:
1. Heat a large skillet on medium; drizzle with cooking oil and add bacon and onions; slowly cook until onions and bacon start to turn light golden and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Keep bacon fat in pan; add tomatoes and vinegar. Lower heat and simmer until tomatoes soften and start to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
2. Add corn and olive oil; gently smash tomatoes to release remaining juices and stir in parsley. Remove from heat.
3. Transfer potatoes to a large bowl and stir in dressing, mixing well. Sprinkle with Bacon Salt and stir in, to taste.
