New Potato Salad recipe
information
The warm climate of Cornwall produces tender young vegetables earlier than other parts of the UK. Buy the smallest freshest potatoes you canfind and cook them the same day. For a luxury touch use clotted instead of double cream. Dress the potatoes while still warm, even if you are serving them cold, as this allows the flavours to be absorbed.
