Ingredients
- 500 g baby potatoes
- 150 g pancetta cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them in half or into bite-sized pieces if they are larger.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta cubes and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy. Remove the pancetta from the skillet and place on a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess fat.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Step 5
Add the cooked potatoes to a large serving bowl. Pour the dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crispy pancetta, chopped parsley, and chives over the potatoes. Toss lightly to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled, as desired. Enjoy!
