Braai top potato salad
"Everything happens on the braai, even the salad. Smoky potatoes, crisp bacon, no oven required." — Zandile Finxa
Ingredients
On the Braai
800g baby potatoes, halved
150g streaky bacon
2 tbsp oil, salt and pepper
Dressing
3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp vinegar, chopped chives
Method
Parboil the potatoes for 8 minutes until just tender. Drain and toss in oil, salt, and pepper.
Skewer or basket the potatoes and grill over hot coals until charred at the edges.
Grill the bacon alongside until crisp, then chop roughly.
Whisk the dressing, toss through the warm potatoes and bacon, and finish with chives.
The braai is a kitchen too — treat it like one.

Notes
No braai? A hot cast-iron pan gets you 90% of the way there.
