  • 10-12 strips of streaky bacon
  • 2-4 green shallots/spring onions, depending on size

Instructions
  1. Boil the potatoes until a skewer easily goes through them
  2. Drain and let cool
  3. Peel the skin off and cut into dice or rounds, whatever takes your fancy.
  4. Cook the bacon until quite crispy (think you want to be able to crumble it or roughly chop it into smallish pieces)
  5. Slice the shallots/spring onions thinly
  6. Hard boil the eggs eggs in cold water, bring to the boil, boil for about 9 minutesdrain and run under cold water until they're cool enough to handlepeel while the water keeps running over them
  7. Grate the eggs on the fine side of a box grater
  8. Gently mix everything together
The dressing
  1. Mix everything together, have a taste and adjust as needed (sometimes I add more vinegar)The flavours develop if you can make it ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge
  2. Add about ⅔rds of the dressing to the potatoes, have a taste, had more dressing until you get a coverage and consistency you like.
