Bacon, pea and crispy potato salad recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
This hearty potato salad has a lot going for it – substantial enough to serve as an evening meal, it’s high in protein and provides one of your 5-a-day. Featuring family-friendly ingredients, it’s ideal for a weeknight dinner, but wouldn’t look out of place on a sharing table. Throw it together and chill in the fridge, or serve slightly warm, as we’ve done here.

- Cook the bacon in an air-fryer (see tip) at 180°C for 10-12 mins, turning halfway, until browned. Transfer to a plate and leave to cool a little, then chop or crumble.
- Toss the potatoes in the fat left by the bacon and air-fry for 25 mins, shaking the tray halfway through cooking, until tender and crisp. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool slightly.
- Boil the peas for 3 mins until tender; drain.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, chopped gherkins and a little black pepper in a serving bowl. Add the cooked potatoes, peas and bacon; toss to coat. Gently stir through the spinach leaves to serve.
