Method
- Cook the potatoes in salted water until soft, drain and return to the heat to dry out. It is important that the potatoes are thoroughly cooked - there is nothing worse than 'al dente' potatoes.
- Combine the potatoes with the crumbled crispy bacon, the pickled cucumber, eggs and onion. Season to taste.
- Combine the remaining ingredients to make the dressing. Fold enough of the dressing into the salad to make it creamy.
- When folding everything together do it while the potatoes are still warm and allow the potatoes to break down a little in the mixing.
