Bacon & Garlic Potato Salad!

Hello everybody! I hope you're all enjoying the summer as much as I am. I've had so much good food and am enjoying some outdoor bootcamp sessions too! I sure do love the summer!

The other weekend me and some of the girls threw a surprise baby shower for our friend, it was a lovely sunny day and we had a table full of party food. I made my standard home made Coleslaw, and a huge bowl of my Quacamole. 

I also decided to try a new dish and made a potato salad. Not just a regular potato salad, but a Bacon & Garlic Potato Salad!

It was seriously easy, so no excuses- Get making it for this weekends activities! Or even weekday meals/lunches!

RECIPE

Salad Potatoes ~ halved 

Red onion ~ sliced thinly

Garlic cloves ~ 4 diced

Bacon (Turkey or pork) ~ Cooked and sliced

Chives ~ fresh and snipped small 

Mayonaise ~ 2 tablespoons 

Please note: I wish I could say that the Mayonaise was super healthy, or organic, or home made.... But actually it was just regular low fat mayo. My new rule is to not be too strict on the finer details, a little bit of something added to a meal isn't going to hurt me too much, especially as it means I stick to the healthy eating for longer as I'm enjoying my food! 

HEALTHY EATING SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE HARD WORK!! 

So I boiled the whole bag of halved Salad Potatoes,

Whilst frying my sliced Onion & diced Garlic in olive oil (and salt and pepper),

And whilst grilling my Bacon until it was crispy,

I sliced the Bacon and then transferred all ingredients into a big tub with a lid, 

Added the mayo, fresh chives and lots of pepper,

Then shook the pot really hard in all directions for a minute or 2 to mix, but also soften/crush, the potatoes.

Serve immediately or eat cold. 

ENJOY!!!
