Ingredients

  • 5 pounds baby potatoes (not peeled - refer to story above!)
  • 2 cups corn (frozen, fresh, canned - doesn't matter)
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 pound sliced bacon
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (I use light mayo)
  • 1 cup sour cream (14%, not light or fat-free)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or a few tablespoons of reserved bacon grease
  • Sliced chives or green onions, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

Huge pieces of bacon are necessary. You can't just have little bits of bacon in this salad, you need a large mouthful of bacon. Also, if a little bit of bacon grease happens to accidentally spill into the dressing, that is not a problem and people will like this salad and you more.

Step 2

Roast that *#@$! Roasted corn and roasted baby potatoes and roasted garlic are key. Flavour central.

Step 3

Dill is such a great herb. Sour cream is such a great dairy product.
