Recipe Notes

Bacon is a great flavor enhancer and in small doses can bring a real punch to your recipe. The combination of the bacon, peas, mustard and thyme make this a great summer potato salad for serving alongside grilled chicken or fish.

"Okay, this is the wisdom. First, time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted. Second, almost anything can be improved with the addition of bacon. And finally, there is no problem on Earth that can't be ameliorated by a hot bath and a cup of tea."
