Potato Salad With Garlcky Herb Dressing
- Garlicky Herb Dressing
- 1 cup good quality mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon seed mustard
- finely grated zest of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped capers
- 2 tablespoons chopped baby gherkins
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Potato Salad
- 3.3 pounds new potatoes, scrubbed
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons baby gherkins
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups baby watercress
- Put mayonnaise and sour cream in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Stir through all of the remaining dressing ingredients and check for seasoning.
- Put the potatoes in a big pot and cover with water and add salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer until potatoes are just cooked, about 20 minutes. You want them to still have a firmish texture, not be soft or flaky. Drain and immediately put in a container and mix through half of the dressing so that the garlicky lemon flavours infuse into the potatoes. Cool in the fridge.
- To serve layer through the watercress and onion as you transfer to a serving bowl. Pour over the remaining dressing and garnish with dill, chives, and baby gherkins and finish off with a sprinkle of sea salt and a good grinding of black pepper. This salad is delicious with any barbecue, and extra good with some German sausages, good quality bread and some lovely seed mustard. Serves 6-8
