Blue Cheese Potato Salad





This is another favourite of mine, especially with barbecue food. It really makes a nice change from the baked potato!

Ingredients:

4 slices bacon
2 lbs new red potatoes
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 bunch of salad onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1 1/2 oz of crumbled blue cheese.

Place bacon in a large pan and cook until evenly brown. The bacon must be cooked enough so that it can be crumbled - so my American friends will cook it normally, but my British friends will want to comletely overcook it! Crumble and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender, but still firm. Drain and chop, but leave the skins on. In a large bowl mix the oil, vinegar, onions and seasoning. Add the bacon, cheese and potatoes and toss lightly to coat.

Really simple, really good!
