Easy Potato salad – No Nonsense

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! 

Easy No Nonsense Potato Salad

 

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 

Other perfect BBQ Salads

This Potato Salad served cold is the most perfect side at a BBQ 

You can make it up ahead off time and simply pop it in the fridge until you are ready to serve your BBQ’ed meats

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

  2. Angela / Only Crumbs Remain

    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

  3. Charlotte Oates

    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!

  4. 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 ??
