📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pour the oil into a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the long hots. Season generously with salt, then toss them around every few minutes until they're totally softened, about ⏱️ 25 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lay the bacon slices in an even layer on a foil lined sheet pan, then cook in the oven until crisp, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on paper towels to drain. Reserve the bacon fat (optional).

3
Place the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cool water and add enough salt to make the water taste like the ocean. Bring up to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about ⏱️ 15-20 minutes.
4
Drain the potatoes, then let them sit in the colander for a few minutes to dry out. Transfer to a bowl, then add the peppers and all of their oil, and crumble the bacon over top. Mix together, mashing some of the potatoes a bit as you go. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper as needed.

If the salad is a little dry, pour in a little bacon fat, or alternatively some extra olive oil. Add the chives and mix right before serving. Serve warm, with a dollop of sour cream and an extra sprinkling of chives.
