Ingredients:-
1 kg baby red potatoes or other small waxy potatoes
2 tsp salt
100g streaky bacon, Chopped Small
1/4 red onion, Chopped Small
1/4 cup canola oil (or Grapeseed Oil)
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp white sugar
2 green onions, finely sliced
3 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (or parsley)
METHOD:-
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of cold water with the salt. Bring to the boil then reduce heat. Simmer 10 minutes or until just cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre (they will continue cooking as they cool, you don't want to overcook them, so they hold their shape).
Drain and set aside to cool slightly, then slice into rounds about 0.7cm thick.
Place bacon in a large, unheated non-stick pan or well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Turn the heat to medium. As the bacon heats up, the fat will start to melt. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook the bacon until it starts to turn golden – about 3 minutes.
Turn heat down to medium. Add the red onion slices and cook 3 minutes or until the onion is soft.
Add the cider vinegar and sugar, bring to a simmer, scraping the base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits stuck to the pan into the liquid.
Add the oil, and simmer for 2 minutes longer. The dressing is now ready.
Add potatoes and gently toss using two spatulas for 1 minute or so, until all the potatoes are well coated in the dressing and absorb some of the dressing.
Taste and add more salt if you want (the bacon already should add enough).
Assemble Salad
Pile about 1/4 of the potato on to a platter or in a bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the green onion and dill. Top with another 1/4 of potato, sprinkle with more green onion and dill. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Serve warm or at room temperature!
