Notes

Important

  • Spring Onion;
    The white part of the spring onion is stronger in flavour than the green, use accordingly to your taste.
  • Mayonnaise;
    The mayo only needs to be a thin coating on the potatoes. Too much may make it gluggy.

Variations for potato salad with bacon and spring onions

  • Vegetarian;
    You can certainly leave the bacon out if you would like a vegetarian potato salad (leave the eggs out too if desired).
    The egg mayo can be swapped for your favourite vegetarian brand.
  • Swap the spring onions;
    Try adding diced semi dried tomatoes, crumbled feta or chives in place of spring onions
  • Swap the bacon;
    Use chopped cooked chorizo sausage or cooked diced chicken in place of bacon.
