Ingredients
2 lb (900 g) new potatoes (as small as possible), skins on, washed
2 sprigs fresh mint
freshly milled black pepper
4 tablespoons lemon juice
grated zest 1 lemon
1 clove garlic
1 level teaspoon rock salt
1 heaped teaspoon grain mustard
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
To garnish-
2 level tablespoons snipped fresh chives
6 spring onions, trimmed and chopped small
Instructions
First of all place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough boiling
water just to cover them, add the mint and some salt, and simmer
them for about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile make the vinaigrette. Using a pestle and mortar, crush
the garlic and rock salt together to a paste, then gradually whisk in
all the other dressing ingredients.
When the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and
transfer them to a serving bowl. Pour on the vinaigrette dressing
while they are still hot, toss them around in the dressing to get a
good coating, then finally scatter in the chopped chives and spring
onions and serve
An amazingly flavourful potato salad, that with its good hit of lemon almost feels light on the palate-unlike so many potato salads. A wonderful summer potluck dish-that none of us makes as well as Christine.
