For 4 serving

Ingredients

1 kg potatoes (ideally salad potatoes)
1 small onion
2 spring onions
1–2 pickled cucumbers (optional)
2 tablespoons vinegar
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon plain mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation procedure

Cook the potatoes in their skins until tender, drain and peel while still hot.
Slice them – preferably using a salad slicer.
In a small bowl, mix vinegar, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk thoroughly so the ingredients combine into a smooth dressing.
Pour the prepared dressing over the warm potatoes and gently toss.
Once the flavors have come together, add the finely chopped onion, spring onion and, if desired, the chopped pickled cucumber.
You can serve the salad immediately, but it is best after a few hours when the flavors have melded.
