I’ve posted a potato salad in the past. Made with Easy As Homemade Mayo and flavoured with mustard. I also touched on how cooked and cooled potatoes are a source of resistant starch which is great for feeding your good gut bugs. Well, here is another take on this delicious salad using a couple of my favourite ingredients, bacon and shallots.

There are some who shun potatoes, perhaps finding them a too carby, or have an intolerance and to be honest, I don’t recommend eating this salad every night either. But as a side to a perfectly cooked juicy steak, I think that Potato & Bacon Salad is pretty hard to beat.

Here is how easy it is…

We are starting to have a glut of zucchini – courgettes in the garden. If you grow them, you will know what happens here. Everything in the garden looks lovely, you have plants with lots of baby courgettes growing nicely and everything is looking fine and dandy. Then one morning you come out and overnight they have grown into monsters. Enormous courges threatening to take over the whole garden.

You may think that huge courgettes are a bonus, but they get pretty tasteless after a certain size. So the trick is to pick them quickly and cook them. But how to prepare them, should you spiralize, grate, slice or chop? Then how to cook; fry, steam, bake? And then what recipe?

Where I live we are so fortunate to have both a large grapefruit and a plum tree in our yard. Although this is fairly typical for the area I live in; old suburban gardens and crumbling dry stone walls. Both trees are pretty ancient, however, I do think the plum tree the older of the two. With gnarly branches, it’s a bit rotten in places and the other week a large branch broke off! Although that may have been because it was so overloaded with plums, rather than age, the old branch couldn’t hold up the weight. Luckily no one was near.

So at this time of the year, it’s a race between me and the birds who feast on the plums as they ripen. I gather up as many as I can and depending on the level of enthusam freeze, bake or preserve them.

This year, although there is a huge number, they are very small but super sweet. So they were asking to be baked into a loaf.
