TIP! For a change, replace bacon with chopped chorizo. Cooked potatoes can be made up to one day ahead. Keep, covered, in the fridge. Reheat potatoes in a microwave-safe container on High (100%) for 2 to 3 minutes or until warm.  

Ingredients

1kg chat potatoes, halved

4 middle bacon rashers (175g), rind removed, chopped

3 green spring onions, thinly sliced

1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley

CREAMY DRESSING

½ cup Greek yoghurt

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Method

  1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water. Bring to boil. Gently boil for about 10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Drain. Cool slightly. 

  2. Meanwhile, heat a medium, non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until crisp. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper. 

  3. To make dressing, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk well. 

  4. Just before serving, add potatoes, bacon, onions and parsley to dressing. Stir to coat.
