Step by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
Stage 2 - 8 min.
Stage 3 - 40 min.
Steam 2 kgs 400 g potatoes.
Stage 4 - 5 min.
Chop 3 bunches parsley.
Stage 5 - 5 min.
Peel the potatoes while still hot, slice and put in a salad bowl.
Stage 6 - 5 min.
Add the parsley to the hot potatoes, add 15 tablespoons french dressing (vinaigrette), mix well and leave for 5 minutes.
Stage 7
It's important to do this because the hot potatoes will absorb some of the vinaigrette and parsley flavour, and so will became soft and tasty. Delicious!
Stage 8 - 3 min.
Add the bacon and cabbage, add more vinaigrette if necessary and mix well.
Stage 9
Serve immediately. It's better if the potatoes are still warm when the salad is served.
Remarks
You might like to try adding a finely chopped shallot with the parsley, or pouring a little dry white wine over the potatoes while they are still hot.
If you don't like bacon, you can simply leave it out.

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible.
