Potato Salad

I love my potato salad. I used to love it as a kid, but as I got older, I got fussy and stopped liking things from jars. Don't know what it was, it just tasted different. Preservativey maybe? (Yes, that's a word now!)
Anyway, I tried for ages to find a sauce I liked! Then one day I googled recipes. Low and behold, it's actually easy to make from scratch! So I found a couple of recipes that appealed to me, and eventually combined a couple to make the perfect potato salad - for me.

So here is the recipe! I'm not the only one who likes it; I always get asked to take it to barbecues lol.

INGREDIENTS:
1kg potatoes, peeled and chopped into approx. 1cm cubes.
150g bacon, diced (optional)
45g sour cream
70g whole egg mayonnaise (with these two, I basically do 1 part cream to 2 parts mayo, but when I first nailed it, these were the measurements I went with)
1 tablespoon capers, drained
3 spring onions, finely sliced
1/4 fresh dill, or 2 tbspn (approx) of jarred dill
2 tspn salt
1 tspn pepper

METHOD:
Place potatoes in large saucepan and fill with water. Cook over med-high (more high) heat for 20 mins, then drain and put aside to cool.
Cook bacon in frying pan until crispy, then place on paper towel to soak up oil.
In a large bowl, combine onion, dill, capers, bacon, sour cream, mayo, salt & pepper, and mix well. Add cooled potatoes and gently stir to combine.
Serve immediately, or cover and store in fridge until needed.
Not sure how long it lasts, but two days later it's still good for leftovers! :)

Enjoy!
