Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • potato 300g
  • bacon 6 strips
  • pickle cucumber 1 piece
  • onion 1/4
  • mayonnaise 2 tablespoons
  • whole-grain mustard 1 tablespoon
  • plain yogurt 2 tablespoons
  • truffle oil 1/2 tablespoon
  • salt 2 pinches
  • pepper 2 pinches

Recipe 🍳

  1. Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces and boil them in salted water for about 15 minutes until fully cooked through.
  2. Mash the boiled potatoes while still hot using a fork or potato masher until smooth, then let cool completely.
  3. Cook the bacon in a dry pan over medium heat until crisp and all the fat has rendered out.
  4. Chop the onion, pickle cucumber, and crispy bacon finely to preserve their crunch.
  5. Soak the chopped onion in cold water to reduce its sharpness, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a cloth or your hands.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, chopped onion, pickle cucumber, and three-quarters of the cooked bacon.
  7. Add the mayonnaise, whole-grain mustard, plain yogurt, truffle oil, salt, and pepper according to the amounts, and mix thoroughly.
  8. Transfer the salad to a serving dish, mound it neatly, and sprinkle the remaining bacon evenly on top as garnish.
  1. Boil cut potatoes for 15 minutes, then mash while hot.
  2. Fry bacon until crispy, chop onion and pickle cucumber, and remove excess moisture from the onion.
  3. Mix all ingredients and seasonings together, including truffle oil, then top with the leftover bacon.

Cooking tips 💡

  • If truffle oil is unavailable, substitute with olive oil or omit it based on preference.
  • Squeezing out as much moisture as possible from the onion ensures the salad stays crisp and doesn’t become soggy over time.
  • Cook the bacon until very crispy so it contrasts beautifully with the soft texture of the potatoes, enhancing the overall bite.
