Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g baby potatoes
- 150 g pancetta cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or into bite-sized pieces if they are larger.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess fat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the cooked potatoes to a large serving bowl. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the crispy pancetta, chopped parsley, and chives over the potatoes. Toss lightly to combine all the ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled, as desired. Enjoy!
