Step by Step Method
Step 1
Scrub the potatoes well, don't peel them. Chop them up into bite-size pieces if necessary. Transfer the potatoes to a large pan and add a generous amount of water and a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Place the pan over high heat until boiling. Cook the potatoes until tender and then remove them using a slotted spoon. Keep the potatoes at room temperature. Trim and clean the green beans. Add them to the pan of hot water you boiled the potatoes in.
Step 3
Cook the green beans until nearly tender (keep them crunchy). Strain and refresh them immediately under cold running tap water to stop the cooking process.
Step 4
Add the bacon to a large non-stick pan and place it over medium heat.
Step 5
Cook the bacon for a couple of minutes until cooked through. Then take the pan off the heat and let the bacon cool down a little.
Step 6
Combine the olive oil, vinegar, and mustard. Transfer the cooked potatoes, green beans, bacon, chopped onion, parsley, and vinaigrette. Season with pepper and salt.
Step 7
Stir well. Check the seasoning and add extra vinegar, pepper or salt to taste. Transfer the salad to a large serving bowl or 2 deep plates and garnish with the boiled eggs. Serve lukewarm.
