Tips for making English Pea and Potato Salad:
- Frozen peas – Use frozen English peas for this recipe. Take them out about 15 minutes before you are ready to add them to the potato salad and let them thaw a bit. Being slightly frozen will keep them from being smashed as you toss the ingredients together and they will be fully thawed before anyone eats.
- Bacon – If you are in a hurry and don’t have time to cook bacon in a skillet you can use microwavable bacon or bacon bits made with real bacon.
- Red Potatoes – Potatoes need a good amount of salt to bring out their flavor. Make sure you salt the water that they boil in and if they need a little more salt after you’ve added the vinaigrette give the dish a pinch more.
- Make it ahead of time – Save yourself some time and prepare this potato salad the night before. That will allow the flavors to meld together. Place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
