Potato, dill, bacon & egg salad

Prep 25 mins | Cook 25 mins | Serves 6

1 kg small new (chat) potatoes, roughly chopped
250g rindless bacon, chopped
4 free-range eggs
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
3 green onions (shallots), trimmed and thinly sliced
1/3 cup dill leaves, finely chopped

Sour cream dressing:
1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Step 1 Place potatoes in a large saucepan of salted water, cover and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce heat and cook for 15 minutes or until just tender when tested with a skewer. Drain and refresh in cold water to cool. Set aside to drain.

Step 2 Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a small frying pan, stirring often, over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until crispy. Drain on paper towel. Set aside.

Step 3 Place eggs in a saucepan of water and bring to the boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 8 minutes. Drain eggs, refresh in cold water and peel.

Step 4 To make the sour cream dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 5 Roughly chop cooled potatoes and place into a large bowl. Add celery, green onions, dill and three-quarters of the bacon. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine. Roughly chop the eggs and toss through the salad. Spoon potato salad into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with remaining bacon and serve.
