I have never been a fan of potato salad, but I have to say that I truly love this home-made recipe. It’s so light and creamy and the flavours really hit you when you give the salad a few hours to settle in the fridge. I don’t know what it is that makes this salad so good, but using red delight potatoes might have something to do with it. They really do seem a lot fluffier and creamier than other potato types. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does.

Ingredients
- 1kg red delight potatoes
- 4 eggs
- 5 shortcut bacon rashers
- 4 spring onions
- 150g garlic aioli
- 150g sour cream
- tops of spring onion, sliced, garnish
Instructions
- Boil a large saucepan of water.
- Peel potatoes and cut into bite size pieces.
- Place potatoes in saucepan when water is boiling place, allow to cook for 10-12 minutes or until just tender, do not overcook.
- Meanwhile, boil eggs, peel and slice into quarters. I then sliced them in half again.
- Brown bacon and spring onions in a frypan for 4-6 minutes.
- When potatoes are ready drain out all water and return to saucepan and place back over heat, shake the saucepan over the heat for one minute, this creates a rough coating on the outside of the potato and removes moisture. Remove pan from heat.
- In a small bowl mix aioli and sour cream until combined.
- Add egg, bacon, spring onion and creamy dressing to potatoes, gently stir together and place into a serving dish, sprinkle with extra spring onion and serve warm or place in fridge until ready to serve.

I love potato salad. I usually put dried cranberries, spring onion, bacon and parsley in our christmas potato salad!
So Yum!
ooh that sounds really good Erin, a great little Christmas twist!
I like the addition of bacon and garlic aioli Kat! 😀
Ooh I love garlic Lorraine!
We make a low fat version with spring onion, celery, peeled green apple, pickles, chives and a yoghurt/olive oil/lemon juice dressing.
Might have to try it with pickles ANB, my son loves them!
That sounds awsome – can you share the recipe??
This has become our family’s new favorite. We usually have potato bake but this is a less heavier version of a potato side dish for the summer months. A lot less fiddling around than my potato bake as well..
I’m so pleased to hear your family likes the recipe! Kat x
Extra benefit of cooled, cooked potato is all the extra inulin (beneficial fibre) you get. Very good for your lower gut bacteria!
I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing!
