Special Potato Salad
"A recipe I use over and over again. I've even been known to cheat and use tinned potatoes - the kind with their peels on - heated up. But nothing beats a Jersey Royal! From Simply Delicious.
The accompanying note reads: You can serve this salad hot or cold. If you prefer it cold, add the dressing just before serving."

Delicious both hot and, next day for lunch, at room temperature. The only change I made to the recipe was to sauté the bacon in about a teaspoon of oil in a non-stick pan. I did this so that I could add 2 cloves of chopped garlic, which I sautéed with the bacon. I then cut the bacon into pieces with kitchen scissors. I have just so many potato salad recipes (!), but I’m always open to trying another one! And I’m so glad I tried this one! It was quick and easy to make, and everyone loved it. I’ve made and eaten potato salads with ham, but bacon is SO much better! Thanks for sharing this recipe, Sherrie-pie. I will certainly be making it again, and often.

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying.
My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
