How to Make Salade de Pommes de Terre, Lardons et Œufs

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

Start by boiling the potatoes in salted water until they are tender, about 15-20 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes).
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before peeling them (if desired). Cut them into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2: Prepare the Eggs

Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with water.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
Once done, remove the eggs from the water and let them cool. Peel the eggs and cut them into quarters or halves.

Step 3: Cook the Lardons

In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat and fry the lardons (or bacon) until they are crispy and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside, allowing the lardons to drain on paper towels.
