Description

Seeing as I’m always the one who is ordered to make the potato salad whenever anyone feels like it, I crowned myself Potato Queen. Only among my friends though, because I’m sure Jamie Oliver can do more wonderful things with a potato than I can.

Ingredients

  • 10  Potatoes
  • ½ pounds, ⅞ ounces, weight Bacon
  • 1  Onion
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 5 teaspoons Wholegrain Mustard
  • 5 teaspoons Honey
  • 2 cups Mayonnaise (or More)
  • ½ cups Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Curry
  • ½ cups Chutney
  • Full Cream Milk, As Needed

Preparation

Boil your potatoes first. Remember to salt them. What I do is I peel them and then cut them into bite size cubes so they can cook faster. I also don’t like peeling a hot potato. The last time I made this salad I didn’t even peel the potato and it came out great. Just make sure you remove any dirt that might be clinging to the skin.

Then fry your bacon until it’s really crispy. Scoop them out, but don’t throw out the bacon grease. Use the grease to fry your onions. Don’t fry the onions for too long. You just want to fry them enough to get rid of the worst sting. When they start to glisten, you can take them off the heat.

Now for the magic sauce. The amount of sauce depends on how many potatoes you have. You’ll be able to estimate it, I’m sure. If you don’t have enough sauce, you can always just make some more and add it.

In a big bowl, put together all the ingredients for the sauce, except the milk. Then taste it. And like Jamie Oliver always says, then you think about it. Use more of the ingredients that you think will make it taste right for you. You can even add some ground up black pepper. Okay, now you will see that the consistency is a little bit like porridge, so you have to add just enough milk to make it more runny so that it will mix well through all of the potatoes. When you’re impressed by your sauce, mix everything together.

This salad is best if you make it the night before and chill it really well in the fridge before serving it. You can add some fresh parsley as a garnish when serving it.

Enjoy!

Maretha, what kind of chutney do you use? Not brand, so much, as what ingredients? The potato salad sounds delicious and I want to give it a try.
