My ultimate potato saladāsimple, maximum flavour, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Serves: 4-6
Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
1kg red washed potatoes, unpeeled, (or another waxy potato, such as Dutch cream, desiree or kipfler)
4 rashers bacon, chopped
1/2 cup whole egg mayonnaise
2-3 tbs sour cream
1 tbs dijon mustard
1 tsp red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 French shallots, finely chopped
2 dill pickles, chopped
1 bunch chives, chopped
3 dill fronds, finely chopped
Method:
Place the potatoes in a pot of cold water. Bring to the boil, then turn down to medium heat and cook for about 20ā25 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a small knife. (The cooking time
will vary depending on what potatoes you use and how large they are.) Drain and set aside until the potatoes are cool enough to handle, but still warm. Peel off and discard the skins, then cut the potatoes into rough cubes.
Meanwhile, place the bacon into a frying pan over medium heat and cook, tossing occasionally for 5
minutes until sizzling, golden and crunchy. Drain on paper towel and cool.
Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, vinegar, lemon zest and juice and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl.
In another bowl mix the bacon, shallot, cornichon and herbs. Add half of the bacon and herb mixture to the creamy dressing and mix through. Reserve the rest for garnishing.
Add the still-warm potato to the dressing. Toss so all the potatoes are coated. Garnish with the remaining bacons and herbs. Best served at room temperature.

Like my dad would say: āpeople would pay good money for that in a restaurantā. Heās not wrong!
Fish MeuniĆØre
Serves 4
Time: 30 minutes
Extra virgin olive oil, for frying
4x 180g pieces of Murray cod (flathead, snapper & King George and any white fish is great)
Plain flour, for dusting
125g butter
2 tbs. baby capers
3-4 sprigs parsley, finely chopped
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Salt and pepper
Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan until it becomes foamy. Continue cooking for a further 1 - 3 minutes or until the bubbles subside and the milk solids turn a golden brown. Be careful so it doesnāt burn. A wonderful nutty aroma should be present. Remove from the heat and cool, swirling regularly. Add capers, parsley and lemon juice. And season with salt and pepper.
Season fish with salt. Sprinkle the flour onto a large plate and then lightly flour the fish fillets.
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish for 1½ -2 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and place on a warm platter.
Serve the fish with lashing of beurre noisette, spinach and boiled waxy potatoes.
