Ingredients

1 kg Baby Potatoes
2 tsp Fine/Table Salt
60 g Shallot
80 g Mayonnaise
80 g Creme Fraiche
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Fresh Chives - finely chopped
4 tbsp Fresh Parsley - finely chopped
2 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves - finely chopped
½ tsp Garlic Salt

Instructions

Put a kettle of water on to boil.
If needed, wash and thoroughly dry around 1kg Baby Potatoes.
Use a small sharp knife to cut off any large imperfections from the potatoes.
Cut any large potatoes into half and any very large potatoes into quarters. How and if you do this will entirely depend on the size of your potatoes. You are looking to end up with all of the pieces being roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes into a saucepan, cover with boiling water from the kettle and add around 2 tsp Fine/Table Salt.
Place the pan on a high heat and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down so the water is just gently boiling and allow to cook until tender. This will take around 15 minutes.
Meanwhile prepare the dressing. Top, tail, halve, peel and very finely slice around 60g Shallot.
Place the shallot into a small mixing bowl along with 80g Mayonnaise, 80g Creme Fraiche, and ½ tsp Garlic Salt.
Finely chop around 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, 4 tbsp Fresh Parsley and 2 tbsp Fresh Mint Leaves. Set a little of each aside to garnish if you wish.
Add the herbs to the rest of the dressing ingredients along with 1 tsp Lemon Juice.
Mix well until everything is well combined. Taste it and adjust the seasoning as necessary - more salt or more lemon juice is often needed If you find it to be too sharp, add a very small amount of sugar.
Once the potatoes are soft all the way through, drain the water and allow them to sit and steam dry for a few minutes. It is important for there to not be any water left in the pan.
Tip the dressing into the pan of dry potatoes.
Use a spatula or large silicone spoon to mix the potatoes with the dressing until every piece of potato is thoroughly coated.
The potato salad can sit a little while if needed or can be served immediately.
