Instructions
Cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes and dice the bacon and onion.
Dica: Organize all ingredients according to the mise en place list.
Place the cubed potatoes to cook in cold, salted water.
Dica: Cook in cold, salted water; avoid starting with hot water to ensure even cooking.
Fry the bacon in a skillet until very crispy.
Dica: Drain most of the rendered bacon grease after frying.
In the same skillet, use a little of the grease to sauté the onion until golden. Then, add the corn, season with salt and black pepper, and fry well. Set aside the seasoned bacon, onion, and corn mixture.
Dica: Make sure the onion and corn are well-browned, with rich color and flavor.
Once the potatoes are tender but not mushy (they should hold their shape), remove about one-third of the cooked potatoes from the water and return them to the pot still on the heat.
Dica: The texture of the potato should be tender, but still maintain its shape.
Mash that one-third portion of the potato, incorporating butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper, until a thick and smooth mash is formed.
Dica: Mix thoroughly so the mash has a nice appearance.
Mix the prepared potato mash with the remaining diced cooked potatoes to create varied textures in the salad.
Dica: This combination of textures is what gives the recipe its 'richness'.
Add the lemon juice and taste to adjust the salt. Then, incorporate the mayonnaise, the reserved bacon, corn, and onion mixture, the chopped celery, and raisins (if desired).
Dica: Optionally, add chopped parsley at this point.
Gently mix all the ingredients and taste again to adjust the salt, lemon, and black pepper.
Dica: If you do not like raisins, omit this ingredient.
Transfer the salad to a dish and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for approximately 15 to 20 minutes to chill thoroughly before serving.
Dica: The chef recommends serving the salad cold.
Serve the salad cold, decorating the surface with chopped onion. It is ideal for special occasions like Christmas and New Year's.
Dica: This salad is incredibly flavorful and deserves respect.
