Potato salad augments any picnic or brunch very well but I love using it as a side to any meat dish as well. This one is full of flavour with the pancetta giving it a nutty flavour and lemon juice giving it some zing. I served this with my Crockpot Pork Tenders and Eggy Fried Rice but of course can be served as any side dish.
Ingredients
1 ½ pound baby gem potatoes, washed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 pack pancetta
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup celery hearts thinly sliced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
6 baby pickles, thinly sliced
4 hard boiled eggs
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Boil potatoes until cooked about 15 minutes
In the meantime heat oil in skillet and add pancetta
Cook until pancetta has become crispy and place on paper towel lined plate to cool
Once potatoes are cooked, drain and let cool and dry
Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice together
Cut potatoes in quarters into a large bowl
To the bowl add pancetta, celery, red onions, pickles, mayonnaise mixture and cut two eggs into chunks and add to bowl
Using hands mix everything carefully together so eggs whites don’t break
