Winter Potato Salad

Image
Potato salad is another one of my favourites. Yes, I know, my lovelies, I have a lot of favourites - probably because I eat to live, and not live to eat! I tend to make potato salad in the hotter months as it is a cold meal or accompaniment, and have always wanted to try one that would be good for the colder months, and indeed during winter. This recipe hit all the right buttons, and I was able to have my potato salad in winter! Potato salad is something that is easy to make as you can put whatever you like in it.  I tend to make the same one over the over in summer, as it is so good, and do not often vary it.  However, that recipe is for another day when it warms up here in Australia! This is a simple, yet very tasty main meal or serve it as a side to a main meal.  For vegetarians, the bacon could be omitted and a bit of salt added for flavour.  I do not add salt to meals generally if I am putting bacon in them, as bacon has so much salt on it's own. ...

Filo pastry is unleavened flour dough and the thinnest of all the bought pastries.  It is often used in Greek cooking.  Filo pastry needs to be handled very carefully as it tears easily if allowed to dry out, so always work with a damp tea towel over it when making these parcels. You COULD use a different pastry however I have used Filo pastry as I like thin pastry, but a bought puff pastry would also work, and this would be easier to work with.....however, filo IMHO tastes much better! If you are rushed for time, you could also use tinned or frozen corn, however the fresh corn is by far a sweeter, and nicer product. Preparation Time: 35 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Makes: About 15 pastries Ingredients 3 x corn on the cob 4...
