Method

  1. Boil whole waxy potatoes for 20–25 minutes until tender. Drain and let cool just enough to handle, then peel and slice.
  2. Finely chop onion and bacon. Fry bacon in 10 g oil for 4 minutes, add onion for 3 minutes, then add stock and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and pepper.
  3. Pour warm dressing over the potatoes and fold gently. Rest for 15 minutes so the slices absorb the liquid.
  4. Fold in remaining oil, chopped parsley and sliced spring onion. Serve warm or at room temperature; refrigerate leftovers promptly.
