  • Cook potatoes in salted water until cooked through and soft. Drain and let cool. When cool, cut them in half and place them in a large bowl.

  • Carefully scoop bacon out with a slotted spoon and add to potatoes, leaving the bacon fat in the pan on medium-high heat.
  • Add peppers and onions to the pan and sauté for 2–3 minutes, allowing them to colour. Add corn and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then and remove from the heat.
  • Add vegetables to the bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Cover and place in the fridge to cool. Serve chilled.
