Ingredients
For the potatoes
- 4 golden potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 tsp salt
For the salad
- 5 streaky bacon rashers
- 4 Italian sausages
- 4 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes diced
- 3 cups (100g) spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil from the tomato jar or virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Dice the sun-dried tomatoes and reserve their oil to use in the salad. Roughly chop the spinach.
- Cook the bacon. Add the bacon in a heavy skillet set over high heat. The bacon fat will render as it cooks so you don't need to add additional oil. Cook until crisp then transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Roughly chop or crumble with your fingers.
- Squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings. Add to the hot skillet where you cooked the bacon and fry for about five minutes, breaking it up with your wooden spoon and stirring frequently. You want the sausage to be cooked through with some crispy edges. Note: if the pan is too dry you can add a splash of olive oil. Transfer the sausage to your salad bowl.
- Peel the potatoes and cut into large cubes. Add to a pot with salt and water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes and add to the salad bowl.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes and spinach to the warm potatoes and toss everything together. Sprinkle with the crispy bacon and add the olive oil you reserved from the tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. YUM!
Notes
- STORING: Store leftovers for up to three days in the fridge. You can serve the salad cold or reheat it in the microwave if you like.
- RECIPE NOTES: In most potato salad recipes you would allow the potatoes to cool down before mixing with other ingredients. This recipe is meant to be served warm and the heat of the cooked ingredients is supposed to wilt the spinach a little.
