Ingredients
- 800 g new potatoes any new / waxy / baby variety will work – I used Redmere Farms Baby Potatoes from Tesco, halved or quartered, depending on size. (Each piece should be approx. 20g)
- 8 tablespoons good quality mayonnaise (I use Hellmann’s)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- salt and black pepper to taste (I use ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper)
- 4 sticks celery sliced
- 4 spring onions (AKA scallions) finely sliced
- 20 g fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Place the new potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with boiling water, bring back to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes or until just tender. (Do not overcook or they will start falling apart!)
- Meanwhile, place the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir well to combine.
- Add the sliced celery and spring onions to the mayonnaise mixture and stir again.
- When the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and tip back into the saucepan. Fill the saucepan with cold water from the tap and drain again. Repeat until the potatoes are cool. (Alternatively, you can cook the potatoes earlier in the day and allow them to cool to room temperature.)
- When the potatoes are cool, tip them into the mayonnaise mixture and stir to combine. Add the chopped parsley and stir again.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.
