Simple Baby Potato Salad

Ingredients

• 1kg baby potatoes
• 4 gherkins
• a handful of fresh dill
• a handful of fresh parsley
• ½ red onion
• 60g canned sweetcorn

For Dressing

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp English mustard
• 1 tsp honey
• ½ lemon for juice
• salt, for taste
• black pepper, for taste

Method

Start by giving the baby potatoes a good rinse, then chop them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.

Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook them until they are tender but not falling apart, about 10-15 minutes.

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly by transferring them to a large mixing bowl, which will be used to combine all the ingredients.

While the potatoes are cooling, finely chop the gherkins, dill, and parsley. Peel and finely chop half of the red onion.

Once the potatoes have cooled down a bit, add the chopped gherkins, dill, parsley, and red onion to the mixing bowl.

Drain the canned sweetcorn and add it to the bowl as well.

To prepare the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, olive oil, mustard, honey, and the juice of half a lemon (about 2 tablespoons) in a small bowl.

Use a small sieve while squeezing the lemon to catch any seeds, ensuring a smooth dressing.

Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Pour the dressing over the potatoes and gently toss all the ingredients together until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Ensure each potato is well-coated with the creamy dressing for maximum flavour.

Transfer your potato salad into a serving dish, and decorate with some red onion and parsley on top. This simple garnish adds a burst of colour and a hint of fresh flavour, making your salad as beautiful as it is delicious.

This delightful potato salad can be served as a side with your favourite main dish or enjoyed on its own for a light and satisfying meal.

Tips

Turn your salad into a complete meal by adding some crispy bacon. Take a few strips of bacon and chop them into small pieces. Fry the bacon in a pan over medium heat until it becomes nice and crispy. Once cooked, drain the bacon pieces on a paper towel to remove any excess grease. Add the crispy bacon to the mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients and gently mix everything together.
