Ingredients

  • 1kg waxy potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 small onion, very finely chopped
  • 200ml hot vegetable stock
  • 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp medium mustard
  • 1/2 tsp caster sugar
  • 5 tbsp sunflower oil
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives

Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20 to 25 minutes until tender. Drain, peel while warm and slice 4mm thick into a large bowl.

  2. Mix the onion, hot stock, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt and white pepper.

  3. Pour the warm dressing over the potatoes and stir very gently. Leave for 15 minutes so the potatoes absorb the liquid.

  4. Stir in the oil, taste for seasoning, scatter with chives and serve warm or at room temperature.
