Try Chef Curtis Stone's delicious potato salad with bacon, capers, and cornichons for a mouthwatering twist!
Ingredients:
  • 2kg yellow fleshed potatoes, peeled, cut into about 4cm cubes
  • 510.00 gm Brand Real Chicken Stock
  • 2 medium shallots, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 82.50 ml finely chopped cornichons
  • 62.50 ml drained Brand Baby Capers
  • 250g streaky bacon, finely diced
  • 62.50 ml finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 81.68 gm Brand Mayonnaise
Instructions:
  • Cook the potatoes in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for about 10 minutes until tender. Test doneness by easily piercing a piece of potato with a sharp knife - it should glide off without falling apart.
  • Drain the water from the potatoes using a colander, shaking them gently to remove excess water, then transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a gentle simmer over high heat. Add the shallots, cornichons, and capers once boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2-3 minutes until shallots soften slightly.
  • Gradually mix in one-third of the stock with the hot potatoes, folding gently for 2 minutes until most of the broth is absorbed. Repeat twice more, incorporating all solids and enough stock to moisten. Potatoes should slightly break down. Set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat for 10 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly.
  • Carefully combine the bacon and parsley with the warm potatoes, followed by gently folding in the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
