( Hot Potato Salad With Bacon )
Ingredients
9 medium-sized boiling potatoes (about 3 lb), scrubbed but not peeled

3 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Serves: 6
Method
Drop the unpeeled potatoes into enough boiling water to cover them completely. Boil them briskly until they show only the slightest resistance when pierced with the point of a sharp knife. Be careful not to let them overcook or they will fall apart when sliced. Drain the potatoes in a colander, then peel and cut them into ¼ inch slices. Set the potatoes aside in a bowl tightly covered with aluminium foil.
Cook the bacon over a moderate heat in a heavy, medium-sized frying pan until brown and crisp. Spread it out on kitchen paper to drain. Add the onions to the fat remaining in the pan and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, until they are soft and transparent but not brown. Stir in the vinegar, water, salt and pepper, and cook, stirring constantly, for a minute or so. Pour the hot sauce over the potatoes, turning the slices about gently with a large spoon or fish slice to coat them evenly with the onion and vinegar mixture. Gently stir the reserved bacon pieces into the salad. Taste for seasoning.
Serve at once or cover and set the salad aside at room temperature until you are ready to serve it. Just before serving, stir the salad gently and sprinkle the top with parsley.
