How to make Potato salad with bacon and eggs

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water, ensuring the water level is 5 cm (2 inches) above the potatoes.

2. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.

3. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly; they should remain warm when you dress them to help absorb the dressing.

4. Meanwhile, place the eggs in a large saucepan of boiling water and cook for 8 minutes, until both the whites and yolks are set.

5. Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, drain again, peel, and quarter the eggs.

6. In a large frying pan, cook the bacon over medium heat for 8–10 minutes, turning halfway through, until browned and crisp.

7. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain and cool slightly, then tear it into 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pan.

8. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, relish, mustard, garlic powder, pepper, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt.

9. Add the warm potatoes, quartered eggs, tomatoes, olives, and half of the bacon to the bowl. Fold gently until everything is combined and coated in the dressing.

10. Transfer the salad to a serving platter and top with the remaining bacon.
