Ingredients
For the potato salad
700 gram (1 1/2 lb) of potatoes
200 grams of bacon strips (cut into bits)
1 red onion diced finely, keep some slices for garnish
3 tablespoons of fresh spring onion
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoons of dijon mustard
2 teaspoon of maple syrup
salt and black pepper to taste.
Instructions
Wash and clean the potatoes with the skin on. Add water in a pot and place the potatoes in to boil. The water should cover the potatoes. Bring to boil and boil for about 20-25 minutes until tender when tested with a fork.
While they are boiling get the dressing mixed together and whisk all with a hand whisker in a bowl. That would be the olive oil and the vinegar, mustard and the maple syrup with the salt and pepper. Set aside. (add if needed more vinegar or olive )
Next in a warm frying pan, with a little olive oil, add your chopped bacon bits and onion and sauté until just crispy and the onion are golden. Set aside.
Once the potatoes are tender, with a colander pour out the hot water. Leave the boiled potatoes to cool a little until you can peel the skins off. Then in a bowl cut them into slices or small bite size pieces. They should be warm to absorb the dressing for the best taste.
In the bowl with the sliced warm potatoes, pour in the Vinaigrette dressing, and the chopped green spring onion and gently toss them until all mixed up. Let the potatoes soak up the dressing for a few minutes.
Serve in a bowl or dish for a delicious warm potato salad for a side dish with meals.
Versatile for vegetarian eaters as well. Just leave out the bacon bits and serve in a separate bowl for addition to people who would love to add them in this warm potato salad.
