Method

  • step 1

    Heat a pan of salted water; once boiling, add the broad beans. Bring the pan back to the boil for 2 mins, then lift the beans out with a slotted spoon into a bowl of cold water. Tip the potatoes into the pan, then boil for 15-20 mins or until tender. Drain and leave to cool. While the potatoes are cooking, put the onion into a shallow bowl, splash with the vinegar and scatter over the sugar, then leave to soak. Pop the beans out of their jackets.

  • step 2

    For the dressing, mix the soured cream, chives, mustard, 1 tbsp water and plenty of seasoning, measure 2 tsp of the vinegary juices from the onion, then stir to combine. Taste and add more of the vinegar if you like, then discard the rest. Peel the skins off the potatoes if you like, then cut them in half or into quarters and toss with the dressing and onions.

Just made this for a BBQ this evening. Omitted the broad beans as I just wanted a plain salad. I read the reviews before and used around 4 tbsp of light mayo in addition to the sour cream, and I also added some extra sugar at the end and dressed with chopped spring onions ! Tastes good so far warm…

This is my favourite recipe for potato salad. I've used it many times, varying it here and there, leaving out one thing and adding in another, and I've concluded that the ingredient that makes the difference is the onion: Do Not Skip This Step. Halve a red onion, finely - and I mean finely - slice,…
