  1. Cook the potatoes in salted water until soft, then drain and return to the heat to dry out. It is important that the potatoes are thoroughly cooked.
  2. Combine the potatoes with the crumbled crispy bacon, the diced cucumber, eggs and spring onions. Season.
  3. Combine the remaining ingredients to make the dressing.
  4. Fold enough of the dressing into the salad to make it creamy.
