Method
- Cut the potatoes into 3cm chunks and boil in salted water for 12-15 minutes until just tender.
- Lower the eggs into the same pot for the last 9 minutes, then cool both under cold running water.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them steam dry, or the dressing will slide straight off.
- Fry the chopped bacon in a dry pan until crisp and drain it on paper.
- Mix the mayonnaise and yoghurt with plenty of black pepper to make the dressing.
- Fold the potatoes, quartered eggs, bacon, spring onion and parsley through the dressing.
- Chill for an hour before serving.
