Bacon, Egg & Potato Salad

Everyone has their own version of potato salad. Some warm, some cold, some with mayo while others without. I came up with my recipe by looking at cookbooks and taking ideas from all the potato salads I've had throughout the years. This version has mayo in it and is usually served cold. This recipe would easily serve 4-6 people if eaten as a side dish.



Ingredients
800g boiling potatoes, cut into cubes
125g bacon, cut into lardons or small strips
3 large eggs, hard-boiled & mashed
1/2 small spring onion (green part only) or 1/2 bunch of chives
75ml Japanese mayo (Kewpie or similar)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
salt & white pepper to taste

Method
Cut potatoes into cubes & boil until just cooked, drain & set aside
Cut the bacon into lardons and fry until crispy, drain & set aside
Boil eggs to hard boiled stage, peel & mash, set aside
Cut the spring onions and/or chives
Make the dressing by combining the remaining ingredients
Combine everything in a bowl, making sure not to break the potatoes
Chill in the fridge before serving
