Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 20 min.

Cook 700 g potatoes with the skin on.

If possible, use small potatoes, such as "rattes", which are better suited to this recipe.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 10 min.

Once cooked, peel and slice.

Set aside.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 3 min.

Cut 200 g belly (streaky) bacon into small pieces.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 3 min.

Prepare and chop 1 onion.

Set aside.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare 300 g lettuce.

Note: I've used arugula here, but a simple green salad will do just as well.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 7 min.

In a frying pan over high heat, pour 1 tablespoon oil and when hot, add the lardons.

Grill to taste, then remove to a plate, keeping the cooking fat in the pan.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 15 min.

Return the pan to the heat, then pour in the potatoes, season with salt and stir.

Grill to taste, then remove withe the grilled bacon plate.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 1 min.

Return the pan to the heat, pour in 3 tablespoons oil and when hot, add the chopped onion.

Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1 minute without browning.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 1 min.

Add the salad...

Stage 10 - ⌛ 2 min.

...and cook for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring constantly. The lettuce will "fall", i.e. become very tender, so add 2 tablespoons vinegar.

Stage 11 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add the potatoes and bacon, mix well, check the seasoning and leave to warm through.

Stage 12

Your Ardennes salad is ready.

Remarks

Bacon and potatoes can be prepared well in advance.

Serve as is, or with a dash of vinegar added at the last minute.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
