Ingredients:

• 750g Mâche salad leaves (lamb’s lettuce)
  
• 6 salad potatoes (Charlotte or Belle de Fontenay)
  
• 2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
  
• 200g air-dried, lightly smoked bacon cut into lardons - 20mm x 5mm
  
• Olive oil
  
• Walnut oil
  
• Red wine vinegar
  
• Salt and pepper
  
• 300g Comte, Gruyère or Beaufort cheese

Method:

Cook the washed potatoes in salted boiling water. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice thinly. Drizzle with a little walnut oil, season then cover and keep warm.

In a pan, gently fry the lardons with a smear of olive oil. The lardons should
be crispy but not dry, add a few drops of vinegar and pour all of this into the potatoes.

Dress the well-washed salad with a little walnut oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add the shallots and then the warm potato mix.

Finally, sprinkle over shavings of the cheese. Serve warm.
