Potato Salad
Waxy potato salad bound with Dijon mustard mayo, finished with fresh flat-leaf parsley, spring onions and celery. Serves 4.
What you’ll doYou will boil salted potatoes until they yield to a knife, then drain and cool them slightly. While they rest, you'll prepare the vegetables—celery, spring onions and parsley—and whisk a mustard-vinegar mayonnaise. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, you'll cut them into chunks, fold everything together gently, and the salad is ready to serve.
