A simple, delicious potato salad made with bacon, fresh tarragon and a creamy mustard vinaigrette. It tastes light and fresh, and it is very easy to make.
I make the mustard vinaigrette with a little mayonnaise, which gives it a lovely creaminess.
I would definitely recommend using fresh tarragon – it gives the best flavour. If you can’t get hold of fresh, you can easily season with dried tarragon instead. I usually buy fresh tarragon in those small plastic boxes – you’ll find it in the chilled section of the fruit and veg aisle in larger supermarkets.
Potato salad with bacon
Potato salads are often on the table at ours as soon as spring arrives. But actually several times during autumn and winter too – and then it’s usually this kind, with an oil-based vinaigrette.
Potato salad with vinaigrette goes with practically every type of meat, red or white, and with various kinds of fish too.

Kan den laves dagen før og sættes i køleskabet? Eller bliver den kedelig af det?
Hejsa
Den er bedst når den er frisklavet og kun har været på køl et par timer.
Dagen efter vil baconen være blød og urterne lidt kedelige.

Jeg er ikke så vild med estragon – hvad ville du udskifte det med?
Bh Lise
Hej Lise
Prøv med persille eller purløg – eller gerne en kombi af de to, det er super lækkert 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Så fantastisk kartoffelsalat
Hej Ulla
Tusind tak, hvor gør det mig glad at høre 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Når man har tredobbelt opskriften synes jeg min dressing bliver meget hvis pga mayonnaise så den bør nok ikke følge med i de mængder når man ganger op
Hej Christian
Ej hvor mærkeligt – det burde ikke have noget at sige, hvis de andre ingredienser også ganges op.
Men dejigt den smagte alligevel 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
Kan den laves kold?
Hejsa
Jeg serverer den selv kold, så det kan du sagtens 🙂
Warm wishes, Dianna
