SIMPLE BUT TASTY POTATO AND PANCETTA SALAD



Simple but Tasty Potato and Pancetta Salad image

Delicious potato salad recipe that I made up. I always make it for any BBQs or summer parties we have at home and there is never any left. Also make it regularly to eat for lunches and it always goes down well with my friends who sometimes ask me to make extra portions so they can have it for lunch at work too :-) A 1kg bag of potatoes makes enough for 4-8 portions depending on whether you are eating it as a full meal e.g. 4 portions if eating as a meal in itself, or 8 portions if serving as a side at a BBQ etc. It can be eaten straight away but it tastes better the longer it's left for the flavours to mature. I usually leave it at least overnight before eating but sometimes even longer, up to a few days and it tastes better the longer you leave it :-) Please not prep time does not include allowing to cool before adding the mayo.

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 kg new potato
3 shallots
20 g fresh chives
200 g pancetta
5 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
cayenne pepper
black pepper

Steps:

  • Steam the new potatoes in their skins. Put aside to cool down.
  • While the potatoes cool cook the pancetta until crispy (cook in it's own fat that it releases, no added oil). I use smoked pancetta for a nice flavour but unsmoked is fine. Once crispy add the finely chopped shallots and chives for the last 2 minutes only so they are partly cooked but still with "crunch" not fully softened.
  • Peel the potatoes now that they have cooled down then mix with the pancetta, oinon and chives. Leave the mixture to cool fully.
  • Mix the mayonnaise, (I use extra light as I like to limit the fat but you can use normal if you prefer) with the extra virgin olive oil, a good shake of cayenne pepper and plenty of ground black pepper to season.
  • Fold the potato mixture into the mayo and oil and chill until needed.

SALAD OF NEW POTATOES WITH PANCETTA, BROAD BEANS & MINT



Salad of new potatoes with pancetta, broad beans & mint image

A delicious main course salad

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

500g small new potato
140g fresh broad bean , or frozen
140g fresh pea
5 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
80g packet sliced pancetta
4 heaped tbsp mint leaves, stalks removed
25g bunch flat leaf parsley , leaves removed
juice 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes in their skins in a pan of boiling salted water. They will take between 10-12 minutes and should be tender when the point of a knife is inserted. Drain the potatoes and allow to cool.
  • Meanwhile, place the broad beans in a large pan of boiling salted water. Cook for 3-4 minutes then tip in the peas. Boil for another 2-3 minutes until both the peas and broad beans are tender but still have some texture. Now drain and refresh in icy cold water. Remove the outer skins of the broad beans and discard, if you have the time.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the extra virgin olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan and fry the pancetta until really crispy. Then tip the pancetta with its oil into a large bowl. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthways and add to the bowl. Mix well so that the warm potatoes can absorb some of the delicious pancetta flavours.
  • In a small food processor or with a hand blender, blend the herb leaves with two tablespoons of the extra virgin olive oil. Then add the lemon juice and whisk in the remaining oil to form an emulsion. Season well with salt and black pepper.
  • Now throw the peas and the peeled broad beans into the bowl, pour over the dressing and gently mix together. Check the seasoning and serve immediately.
