Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by scrubbing the potatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for approximately 10 minutes, until tender yet firm.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the other ingredients: chop the onion and basil finely, zest and juice the lemon, and cut the bacon into small pieces.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry the diced bacon pieces for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- After draining the cooked potatoes, allow them to cool slightly in the pot, then cut each potato into bite-sized pieces.
- While the potatoes are warm, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then add lemon zest and juice. Toss gently to coat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and red chili flakes until smooth.
- Fold the dressing into the warm potatoes, then add chopped onions, basil, and crispy bacon, stirring gently to combine.
- Your Tasty Jamie Oliver Potato Salad is best served slightly warm or at room temperature. Chill for 15 minutes in the fridge if you prefer it cooler.
