Hot Red Potato Salad

This is a great hot salad to serve on a cold day

This is another one of my Mum’s salad recipes, which she got off a cooking show. It’s served hot and if you are living in a cold climate or are in the middle of Winter like we are at the moment here in Africa, it’s a great warming salad to serve on a cold day ….


Hot Red Potato Salad

6 to 8 red skinned Potatoes, cut into wedges and boiled in salted water
4 to 6 rashers of streaky Bacon, diced
2 red Onions, chopped
diced Garlic
1 cup Chicken Stock, or White Wine (or both)
Salt & Pepper to taste
A few sprigs of Parsley for garnishing

Fry the bacon, onions and garlic. Remove onions and garlic and allow the bacon to crisp. Remove this from the pan and drain off excess fat, leaving only a little behind in the pan. Add chicken stock and/or wine to the sediment and stir well. Pour this over the potatoes, add the bacon and onion mixture, mix well and season & garnish with parsley sprigs and serve immediately.
