Purple potato salad

I like to use a mixture of new potatoes and purple potatoes in this salad, but if you can’t find any purple ones then just use all new potatoes instead. But try to hunt them down — they’re great!

Make the dressing by mixing together the olive oil, lemon juice and crème fraîche or fromage frais. Cook the potatoes in plenty of boiling salted water for around 20 minutes until tender, and drain well. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, rub off the skins with a knife and slice into bite-size pieces. Mix with the dressing, then add the radishes and herbs and season well to taste.

Just to let you know that this works well with ordinary white potatoes. It's a great recipe because you don't have to keep to the recipe!! Use the basic idea and splash in what you want.

This has to be one of the best tasting potato salads I have eaten in over 30 years. It is also one of th easiest to make (except peeling the congo's) Phenomenal. Thank you Mr Oliver for making it, and also sharing it with us.

with new spuds direct from the garden I never bother to peel - even for a potato salad. Lots of nutrients in most vegies are in the skin.

Question: Doesn't the lemon juice in the dressing curdle the cream?

Thanks so much for keeping up my passion for cooking and trying new things.When I left school you didn't have female 'chefs' which I would love to have been!
