- 1 cloves chopped garlic
- fresh parsley (chopped; to taste)
- Salt (Sea) (to taste)
- freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Method
1. Wash the potatoes. Place in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook fro 12-15 minutes, until just tender.
2. While the potatoes cook, whisk together the oil and vinegar. Add the onion, garlic, and parsley. Set aside.
3. Prepare the watercress: wash and remove stems. Set aside.

5. To serve, add the watercress and toss gently.
Notes
Notes from Source: Served as a side salad, this goes particularly well with fish. To turn it into a main dish, try mixing with flaked smoked mackerel, or with strips of smoked ham and cubes of cheddar cheese.
