Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the potatoes in a roasting tin, then rub with 1 tbsp oil and a sprinkling of salt. Roast for 20 mins, then add the onion wedges to the tin, giving everything a good shake. Roast for 20 mins more until the potatoes have turned a deep golden brown and the onions have caramelised and softened. Leave to cool slightly.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan. Dry-fry the bacon until crisp. Add the sliced mushrooms, then fry for 5 mins more until they have softened.
  3. Meanwhile, make the dressing. Whisk the mustard, vinegar and remaining 1 tbsp oil with a splash of water. Place potatoes, onions, bacon and mushrooms in a large bowl with the salad leaves, pour over the dressing, then toss well. Divide between 4 plates, then crumble over the blue cheese.

    Really enjoyed this as a main meal. Added chicken and feta instead of blue. Also added dried cranberries that I had left over in the fridge. Very tasty. Served with crusty bread. Plates cleaned.

    I absolutely loved this! I didn't have any ham or mushrooms but it still tasted fantastic. The blue cheese really compliments the dressing.

    I make this recipe even lower fat by spraying the onions and potatoes with 1 cal spray oil before baking - I bake them together for the full 40 minutes as the onions are more caramalised. I also use a shop bought low fat Honey & Mustard dressing - much easier and really tasty. I mix all the hot ingredients together with a couple of tablespoons of the dressing and pile on top of mixed rocket salad and cherry tomatoes. If you have any left, allow the hot mixture to cool down before adding to salad ingredients and boxing up to take for lunch the next day - it's just as yummy cold. Leave out the cheese if you want a really low fat dish, but a few small sprinkles won't hurt too much - YUMMY!!!

    I'm afraid the mustard and the blue cheese combination just did not work for me :(

    This is a fabulous dish full of flavour & very more-ish. I substituted with veggie bacon and used blue cheese (not St Agur). My veggie friends loved it .... using bacon substitute did not impair the dish in any way.

    This was so tasty, I used Persian feta rather than blue cheese. Served as an accompaniment to a good old Aussie BBQ...used left overs as a pizza topping next day and it was very yum

    This was very tasty but rather salty (maybe less cheese would have helped). Will probably make again though as it was a nice light dinner without feeling like I am just having a bowl of lettuce. I was surprised how well the flavours went together. 3 stars seems a little mean but its not quite at 4 star level - 3.5 stars!
