Steps:
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute the bacon until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Turn the heat off and whisk the shallots into the bacon grease. There should be about 1/4 cup of bacon grease; if it's shy of that amount, add some extra-virgin olive oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar and Dijon until emulsified. Add in the bacon grease mixture and whisk. Whisk in the salt and pepper.
- To poach the eggs: Fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add a little vinegar if using. Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water one at a time, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water and blot dry with a paper towel.
- In a large salad bowl, toss the frisee with the dressing and bacon. Divide the lettuce among 4 serving bowls and top each with an egg and a sprinkle of chives.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and fat has rendered. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Remove and discard all but 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet. Reduce heat to low; add olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and sugar. Cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved and dressing is well combined.
- Combine frisee, parsley, and celery in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Toss salad with dressing and reserved bacon; serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right frisée lettuce: Look for heads that are compact and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Clean the frisée lettuce thoroughly: Rinse the lettuce under cold water and pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel. Removing any dirt or debris is important to ensure a crisp and refreshing salad.
- Cook the fingerling potatoes until they are tender: Boiling the potatoes until they are fork-tender is important. This will ensure that they are cooked through but still hold their shape when added to the salad.
- Crisp up the bacon: Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not overcooked. This will add a smoky and savory flavor to the salad.
- Use a good quality vinaigrette: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper is all you need to dress the salad. Be sure to whisk the vinaigrette until it is well combined.
- Assemble the salad just before serving: This will prevent the lettuce from wilting and ensure that the salad is fresh and crisp.
Conclusion:
This warm frisée salad with fingerlings and bacon is a delicious and satisfying dish perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
