Ingredients

Serves: 2

  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled or unpeeled and cut into 1 cm dice
  • 125g smoked bacon lardons
  • 2 heads of lettuce, leaves separated
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

For the dressing:

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped (optional)
  • a little chopped fresh dill (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan or a wok over a medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes or so, until they start to soften.
  2. Add the bacon and continue to cook, turning the mixture intermittently, until the potatoes are cooked and the bacon is crisp.
  3. Meanwhile, make the ranch dressing by mixing everything together.
  4. Drain the potatoes and bacon on kitchen paper. Arrange on a plate with the leaves, the dressing and Parmesan on top to serve.
