Ingredients

  • 800 grams cold potatoes (cut into cubes)
  • ⅓ cup cooked bacon or ham
  • ⅓ cup peas (can be frozen)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh chives (finely chopped)

Potato Salad Dressing

  • ½ cup mayonnaise (bought or try homemade)
  • 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon honey (optional, but is nice for a touch of sweetness)

Instructions

  • Add potatoes, bacon or ham, peas and chives (plus any other add-ins) to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add all potato salad dressing ingredients to a small jar, tightly screw on the lid and shake together. Pour over the potatoes and mix together well.
  • Serve immediately or cover and store in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Salad will keep in the fridge for a few days.

Notes

I also like adding corn or gherkins to my potato salad but as not everyone like them, I tend to serve them on the side - that way anyone who wants, can add them to their salad as they eat!
