How to make potato and bacon salad?
Peel 4 medium-sized potatoes. Wash the peeled potatoes well. Place the rinsed potatoes on a food cutting board and cut them into quarters.
Place the potato quarters in a saucepan to cook. Do not choose a pot that is too big, choose a medium-sized pot. Add enough water to the pot so that the water is slightly above the level of the potatoes. If you add too much water to the pot, the potatoes will become too watery and moist. If you add too little water, the potatoes may become dry. The potatoes should be cooked for about 15 minutes over a slightly higher than medium heat.
Take 3 stalks of celery, wash them well and place them on a cutting board. Cut the celery stalks into small slices. Place the sliced celery in a salad bowl. Choose a salad bowl that is large enough to comfortably mix all the ingredients for this potato and bacon salad.
Wash the red peppers well. Cut 1/3 of the red bell pepper and place it on a food cutting board. Cut the red peppers into small cubes. Place the cubes in a salad bowl.
Peel a medium-sized white onion, cut in half and place on a chopping board. Finely dice half of the white onion. Place the onion cubes in a salad bowl.
Add ½ teaspoon salt and a little black pepper to the salad bowl.
Wash a medium-sized dill sprig well and place it on a chopping board. Chop the dill well. Add the chopped dill to the salad bowl.
Preheat a frying pan to medium heat. Place a few bacon rings in the hot pan. There is no need to add oil or butter to the pan as the bacon itself is quite fatty and will cook well on its own fat. Use lightly smoked bacon. The bacon slices should be thin.
Fry the bacon rings on both sides. Fry each side of the bacon rings for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned. Place the fried bacon rings in a separate bowl where they can cool down and be used later for this salad.
When the potatoes are cooked, remove the pot from the heat and drain the water. Remove the cooked potatoes from the pot and place them on a food cutting board. Cut the potatoes into slices and place them in a salad bowl.
Take the cooked bacon rings from the plate and place them on the cutting board. Cut the bacon rings into small strips and add them to the salad bowl.
Add 2 large spoonfuls of sour cream to the salad bowl. Mix the sour cream well with all the ingredients in the salad bowl.
Here we have made a wonderful and very tasty potato and bacon salad. It was easy, wasn't it? Enjoy!
