Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs baby potatoes waxy
  • 3 purple potatoes optional
  • 5-6 strips bacon streaky
  • 7-8 baby pickles(gherkins)
  • 10g/1/4 cup fresh chopped chives
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp whole grain mustard
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 4-5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook white and purple potatoes unpeeled, then cool them and peel. I prefer cooking my potatoes in Instant Pot for 5 minutes at High Pressure but you can simply boil them, which will take 10 minutes.
  • Fry the bacon and put on two sheets of paper towel to absorb extra grease, then transfer to a cutting board and chop.
  • Slice both white and purple potatoes in thick rounds, slice the pickles and combine in a large bowl. Add the chopped bacon.
  • Make the dressing by mixing together the white wine vinegar, both mustards, sugar and the olive oil. Stir in chopped chives and pour the dressing over the salad, mix and salt to taste.Refrigerate for the flavours to meld for at least 1 hour. Serve cold.
