Perfect Potato Salad - 3 Ways | Jamie Oliver
Hi guys, okay so we're gonna make the mostincredible potato salad. Potato salad is the
best, but many of us get them from the supermarkets,I don't think they're very good. So real deal
potato salad. The flavours are phenomenaland the textures as well. I'm gonna show you
them three ways, almost like a evolution ofa very, very simple salad. Here, we have got
new potatoes boiling. Always put the new potatoesinto boiling water as suppose to cold and
bringing them up. This preserves the flavourand the nutrients. So these have been cooking
for about fifteen minutes. You can sort oftell when they're cooked, when you can just
get them out and just squash them- lovely. Let's drainthese, cut them up into little quarters. If
some completely break up and smash into almost,like, potato snow, that's fine cause it'll
make your dressing more interesting. So don'tbe worried about that. Gorgeous, extra virgin,
cold-pressed, olive oil. Season with somesalt and pepper. And we're gonna go in with
some lemon. We don't have to waste the skin.If you've got one of these little fine graters,
give it a few little swoops of the lemon skin.No bitterness there at all, just pure flavour.
And the juice, going in. Often when you flavourthings, when their cold, it just sits on the
outside. Because it's hot, whatever you putin now will go into the actual veggie. This
is beautiful. With our bowl, we'll give ita nice little toss and that is your basic
salad. Then we're gonna add our flavours.So some chives, parsley, little bit of mint.
We'll roll it up, almost like a sort of herbycigar. And just finely slice it the best we
can. Chives have that very delicate onionsmell, very gentle. This is rock chopping,
you can easily do a great job by crosschopping. And that's the simpliest, safest
way. just grab your hand flat like that andjust go through it. Into the potatoes right
there. We'll have a little taste. Really happywith that. As it is, goregous. So if you wanted
it to be a little creamy. You could just slapa load of mayonnaise in there. To be honest,
mayonaise is nice, but I prefer really goodquality yogurt. And it'll give you that creaminess.
So two or three tablespoons of yogurt. Andjust toss that up. That's perfectly lovely,
but I think we can add some flavour to thatas well. Some english mustard for me, a teaspoon
is the way to do it. It just gives it a reallynice hum. So I'm really happy with that, but
there's more we can do. Get two or three rashersor bacon- smoked, it has to be smoked. And
just finely slice the bacon. And in a matterof minutes, you can get them super crispy.
So the fat with render out of the bacon. Crispyand golden. Get the bacon out and let this
cool down. That's gonna give an amazing crunch.And then that fat is just absolutely gagging
to have bread crumbs cooked in it. So crispybacon bits, crispy bread crumbs. Another level,
this is a really, really delicious thing todo. So there are our crispy bacon bits, we'll
just sprinkle those over the potato salad.Smokiness, little crunch, little savoury.
Bread crumbs, over the top it should sizzle.You've got all the lovely flavour from that
bacon into bread crumbs. Delicious. Good flavour,clean, crunchy, soft, so really really nice.
