Hay guys now i'm going to tell you how to make delicious potato salad with bacon & blue cheese. This French-style recipe makes a fabulous lunch or dinner in just a few mins for a family party dinner.

let's get started..

Ingredients

• 1kg salad potatoes, halved
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 4 red onions, each sliced into 6 wedges
• 8 rashers smoked back bacon, trimmed and cut into large pieces
• 280g mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 200g bag mixed watercress and spinach salad
• 170g creamy blue cheese (we used St Agur)

Method

1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the potatoes in a roasting tin, then rub with 1 tbsp oil and a sprinkling of salt. Roast for 20 mins, then add the onion wedges to the tin, giving everything a good shake. Roast for 20 mins more until the potatoes have turned a deep golden brown and the onions have caramelised and softened. Leave to cool slightly.
2. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Dry-fry the bacon until crisp. Add the sliced mushrooms, then fry for 5 mins more until they have softened.
3. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk the mustard, vinegar and remaining 1 tbsp oil with a splash of water. Place potatoes, onions, bacon and mushrooms in a large bowl with the salad leaves, pour over the dressing, then toss well. Divide between 4 plates, then crumble over the blue cheese.
