NEW POTATO SALAD WITH SHALLOTS, PARSLEY & VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Gently boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and leave to cool slightly.
• Whisk the mustard with the vinegar and slowly add the olive oil. Add the chopped shallots and parsley and season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Slice the cooked potatoes in half and dress with the shallot and parsley vinaigrette.

POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Start with about 1pound of potatoes (it's important to use evenly sized new potatoes, and you can either scrape them or peel them). Cook the potatoes in boiling, salted water. Try to cook these perfectly so that they just fall off the blade of a knife when you stick it into the potato (you don't want the potatoes raw but you certainly don't want them falling apart either). As soon as the potatoes are cooked, drain them and put them into a bowl. It is very important to add your dressing at this stage, while the potatoes are still steaming hot (by allowing them to cool down in the dressing the flavors penetrate the potatoes). Here are 3 dressings that I like to use:
• Potato salad with salsa verde: All you do is dress the potatoes with 2 large tablespoonfuls of salsa verde.
• Potato Salad with olive oil, lemon and dill: Use olive oil and lemon juice dressing and add some roughly chopped fresh dill and a little salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Instead of dill you could try fresh mint, fresh parsley or fennel tops -- they'll all work).
• Potato salad with dandelion and shallot: Again, use olive oil and lemon juice dressing, add some thoroughly washed and roughly chopped dandelion leaves and some finely chopped shallot, and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Mix together all the ingredients, adding the shallots last.

• MARJORAM AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING: 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (just 1 tablespoon may be enough if it is a very good vinegar) 5 tablespoons good quality olive oil 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 3 heaping tablespoons chopped fresh marjoram
• Mix together all the ingredients.

SALAD OF BOILED POTATOES, AVOCADO AND CRESS

Steps:

• Cook the new potatoes in salted boiling water until very tender, then drain. Slice the avocado in half and remove the stone. Peel and slice it lengthways into thick slices or chunks (however you really like) and place in a bowl. Slice any large potatoes in half--this will expose their flesh to the olive oil and lemon juice. If they are small, leave them whole. Add to the bowl. Throw the cress in, then add a couple of good lugs (tablespoons) of olive oil and lemon juice, to taste. Season and toss. Serve on a big plate, scattered with any remaining cress. This is brilliant with chicken, fish or as a salad on its own, especially in the summer.;
