The French call this a salad; we call it dinner. Granted, we took some liberties with the traditional salad, adding potatoes to make it heartier. Use a sturdy lettuce like frisée or romaine.

Ingredients

3-- bacon slices
2-- russet potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
2-- leeks (white part only), sliced
3tablespoons olive oil
3tablespoons red wine vinegar
2teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4teaspoon salt
-- Coarsely ground black pepper
4cups frisée or curly endive
4-- poached eggs (cooked about 2 minutes)
-- Shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook bacon in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until done, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon, reserving fat. Add potatoes to pan; cook 5 minutes. Add leeks and continue cooking until potatoes are done, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Combine oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a small bowl; whisk well.
  3. Toss frisée with dressing. Place on serving plates. Top each serving with potatoes, egg, crumbled bacon and cheese, if using.
