Ingredients
| 1.6kg | new potatoes |
| 4 heaped tbsp | natural yoghurt |
| 4 tsp | English mustard |
| 2 tbsp | extra virgin olive oil |
| 1 | lemon |
| edible flower petals or fresh herb flowers, to serve |
Method
On the day: Wash 1.6kg of new potatoes, halving any larger ones, then cook in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain well. Spoon 4 heaped tablespoons of natural yoghurt and 4 teaspoons of English mustard into a large serving bowl with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Finely grate in the zest of 1 lemon, squeeze in the juice, mix well, then toss in the warm potatoes. Season to perfection, tasting and tweaking.
To serve: It’s fun to sprinkle this dish with edible flower petals, such as marigolds, violas or nasturtiums. Fresh herb flowers would also work a treat. Serve the potatoes hot, warm or cold.
