Method

  1. 1

    Boil the whole potatoes in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes until just tender when pierced. Drain.

    20 min
  2. 2

    While the potatoes cook, crumble the stock cube into a jug, add the boiling water and stir until dissolved. Whisk in the vinegar, mustard, salt and a grind of black pepper.

  3. 3

    Peel the potatoes while still warm (hold them in a tea towel) and slice about 5 mm thick into a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Scatter the onion over the potatoes, pour over the hot stock mixture and fold gently. Leave for 10 minutes so the potatoes drink up the dressing.

    10 min
  5. 5

    Stir in the sunflower oil and chives. Taste and add more salt or vinegar if needed. The salad should look glossy and a little loose.

  6. 6

    Serve warm or at room temperature, with a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil if you have it.
