Potato salad with celery & olive

My friend who has been studying her undergraduate in Germany said after I posted this salad that this dish is one of the most popular salad in German style. She really loved this salad and often made it at home. I didn’t know about the origin of this dish, however, just like my friend, this salad did make me surprised by its wonderful taste and flavor.

I had some cleansed baby potatoes so I decided to use them in this salad. Making this salad is quite simple once you have all the seasonings which are typical for Western salads in your cupboard. For me it is not so simple. It does take some time for me to gather all Western seasoning ingredients since I spotted one recipe I wanted to do. However, it’s worth the effort.

This salad brings out a dominant creamy taste due the the cooked potatoes and the hard-boiled eggs mashed into the salad. However, the fresh celery and parsley still gives a fresh feeling, plus the olives that create a good texture to the dish.

 Baked baby potatoes & bacon

 Baby potatoes are perfect for this dish, since their small size fits in well with the width of a bacon strip. I do not often use baby potatoes in cooking. Just that this time I saw a good pack of these little things, which I thought "wow, so cute!!!", so I bought them home. There were two slices of bacon left in my fridge, so I decided to make this simple and quick meal.

This dish may not fulfill as a complete meal, however, I think it will be good for a home party as a finger food before the main dishes to be served. One or two potatoes are enough to satisfy hungry stomachs and reduce their impatience and eagerness for the wonderful meal ahead.
