Easy Potato Salad No Nonsense – BBQ Time!
Possibly the nicest potato salad ever – big claim?
A superb Easy Potato salad Recipe – No Nonsense! It really is so good and so simple
It’s not like that slimy shop bought stuff, why would you by that?!
I even find that most of the time the potato isn’t even soft, possibly not cooked enough?
I simply don’t like it and even the premium supermarket ones are still odd??
Just make your own, lower in cost and larger in taste 🙂
Healthy Potato Salad
With this lovely recipe you can also use low fat mayo to keep it low and a little healthier.
Or just go for it and use the full-fat version! To be honest I can’t tell the difference
I love this easy no nonsense potato salad, like really love it – but I am a carb monster!
With the crispy bacon on top it’s almost a tasty meal in itself!
I can eat shed loads – really!
Jersey Royal Potatoes, perfect for Potato Salad
I combine beautiful beautiful Jersey Royal New Potatoes (any will do though) with spring onions, celery (church) and crispy smoked bacon.
All this combined with a lovely Mayo & Creme Fraiche dressing.
Look at the ingredients so simple
Look at how simple it is and it makes so much too!
Fresh and light – yum yum, a dash of lemon juice adds that final touch.
BBQ planning
So at the BBQ get ahead and make a massive bowl of this, because then there’s no need for hot new potatoes, genius!
It’s a great dish to feed the masses!
If you make this the main potato dish at your party / BBQ you will also manage to get out of the kitchen and have loads of time enjoy the BBQ with friends and family
Try it – your family and friends will love it.
Makes a perfect accompaniment to ALL that BBQ food or a summer garden party!
Can I make my Potato Salad and store it in the fridge?
Yes yes you can!!
I normally make mine the day before, so all the hassle is out the way, but covered it will keep perfectly in the fridge for 3 days

Sounds great for lunch box on bowl of lettuce will give it a go ???

This sounds delicious Claire, though living in a vegetarian household I’d need to make it without the bacon…I imagine it would be just as delicious. #FoodYearLinkUp

This sounds delicious, I love bacon in a potato salad, it really adds a lot of flavour. I have to admit that I don’t mind shop bought coleslaw but I completely agree about the potato salad – homemade so so much nicer!

2nd time making this today. I leave out the celery and chives (allergy) but add a dash of garlic powder. I got the last spoonful at the BBQ. It is soooo good and so easy to make ??
