We were asked by Sainsbury’s to come up with a little something with their Taste the Difference British Gems Baby Potatoes. So here we are with our Syn Free Pea, Pickle and Bacon Potato Salad!
These Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference British Gems Baby Potatoes are fresh from the field to store in just 2 days. These baby new potatoes are the “Perline” variety and are exclusive to Sainsbury’s.
You can get the potatoes in 1kg packs or loose, and they’re ideal for this Syn Free Pea, Pickle and Bacon Potato Salad. You can also steam, roast or even bake them.
I actually think they taste far better with their skins on, so there’s no fussing with preparing them. They’re available in Sainsbury’s until the end of August.
How many Syns are in this Syn Free Pea, Pickle and Bacon Potato Salad?
This Syn Free Pea, Pickle and Bacon Potato Salad is Syn free!
We only use a dash of hot sauce, so as we used so little (less than 1/4 of a tsp then we’re not going to Syn it. Hot Sauce is roughly 1 Syn per 3 tbsp depending on the brand that you use.
What is Pickle juice?
It’s the liquid from a jar of pickles! You can use which ever pickle juice you like whether it be pickled onions, pickled gherkins (my favourite!), picked beetroot, pickled cabbage, or even pickled garlic!

Hello
Please could you tell me what hot sauce you used so that its syn free?
Thank you
Leah
Hi Leah
We use Franks Hot Sauce, which is 1 Syn per tbsp. As we’ve only added a dash, the Syn value is negligible. Hope this helps.
Hi do you cook the peas at all for this dish. Thank you xx
Hi Sarah,
The peas need to be defrosted before using them in this recipe – there is no need to boil them as long as they are thawed as they get cooked prior to freezing.
Hope that helps!
Which hot sauce is best to use. Thank you xx
Hi Sarah,
You can use whichever hot sauce you have available!
This looks great – how long does the salad keep for in the fridge?
Hi Katie
It will keep for up to 48hrs in the fridge in a sealed container! 🙂
