Potato salad - For Emily

Okay so no more mucking about. No more being depressed about a boy who obviously doesn't want me. Let's be happy and make some potato salad!

Emily you know I don't work with measurements, so here goes:

  • potatoes
  • onions
  • bacon (cut really small)
  • whole grain mustard
  • honey
  • really GOOD mayonnaise
  • milk (just to make the sauce a little loose)
  • curry (little bit or a lot - your choice)
  • chutney (if you have it)

Okay so 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. That's just stupid.

Then fry your bacon until it's really crispy. Scoop them out, but don't throw out the bacon grease. Then fry your onions in it.

Now for the magic sauce..

The amount of sauce depends on how many potatoes you have. You'll be able to guess it, I'm sure. And if you don't have enough sauce you can always just make some more and add it in.

Okay so 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 as well. Okay now you will see the consistency is a little bit like porridge.. so you have to add just enough milk to make it a bit looser so that it will spread 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.

Hope you enjoy it!

Much love..
