Christina's Potatoes

Yummy Potatoes Christina's Way

This is a wonderful recipe I got from my friend Christina. She is a fantastic cook and has a Swedish background. Not sure how she does it, but she always has wonderful flavours in all her foods.

The ingredients are as follows:

• 2 lbs of red baby potatoes, quartered
• 300-400 grams of bacon, fried to a crisp, chopped in small pieces

Dressing:

• one bunch of parsley, chopped fine
• 150 ml of Olive Oil
• ½ red onion, chopped fine
• 2 tbs of red wine vinegar or use red wine and regular vinegar
• 2 tbs of capers (optional)
• 1-2 tbs of course mustard, to your taste
• Salt to taste
• Fresh ground pepper to taste

Cook the bacon in a pan or microwave. Save the fat to pan-fry the potatoes in it. While the potatoes are cooking, mix all the ingredients for the dressing. Once the potatoes are done,  remove from pan and let drain for a minute or so, then add the dressing and the bacon. Mix well. Can be served warm or cold. It is so good.

Wine Pairing and Recommendations:

How about a nice rose from Therapy Vine Yards™. Try a Pink Freud, it is a delightful wine made from Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. More on this wine on my wine review.

Kiss the cook,
