Hello , today I was eating alone and had some potatoes to use from the garden. I decided to make potato salad as the weather has been kind I am in the mood for something a bit lighter than usual.
This potato salad isn't like the mayonnaise based ones in the supermarket, the dressing is lighter and I have also added some herbs from the garden for good measure:
This is enough for one; if you're feeding more simply multiply the ingredients.
Ingredients:
Handful of new potatoes- scrubbed but not peeled
1 large egg
Chives and mustard cress- couple of teaspoons of each
Mustard -English or Dijon
olive oil
Quarter onion-sliced
Vinegar
Salt
Method:
Drop the potatoes in to a pan of boiling water, cook until tender. Meanwhile cook the egg in boiling water until hard boiled (about 8-10 mins).
To make the dressing mix the mustard and vinegar, then whisk in about 100ml of olive oil. set the dressing aside.
When they are cooked roughly chop the potatoes and egg and add to a large bowl. add the onion, herbs and pour over the dressing whist everything is still warm. This will allow all the flavours to penetrate the salad. Serve warm.
I served this with fish-cod, but I think it would also go nicely with salmon, tuna or even grilled chicken.
Bon appetit!!!
