Ingredients

  • 350 g potatoes (baby new)
  • 2 T oil (a neutral oil, such as canola/rapeseed)
  • 10 T Vinegar (Cider)
  • 1/3 c chopped red onion
  • 1 cloves chopped garlic
  • fresh parsley (chopped; to taste)
  • Salt (Sea) (to taste)
  • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 40 g watercress (washed)

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.

4. When the potatoes are done, drain them.  Break open each potato with a fork, and then toss all of them with the oil and vinegar mixture.  Allow to cool.

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.
