Potato salad with all the trimmings. The eggs, capers and pickles are a lovely addition to this American version of one of our favourite salads. Splash the still-hot potatoes with dry white wine to make this special just-warm potato salad.

Ingredients

1kg new potatoes
⅓ cup dry white wine
½ cup vinaigrette
1 red onion, sliced into rings
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 dill pickles or gherkins, thinly sliced
1 tsp capers
4 boiled eggs, peeled, halved
2 tbsp chopped continental parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season
½ cup homemade mayonnaise (optional)

Preparation

Scrub and simmer the potatoes gently until tender in salted water. Peel, if liked, and slice while still hot into a bowl. Sprinkle with the white wine, turning the potato slices carefully with a rubber spatula.

Sprinkle over the vinaigrette dressing and gently fold through the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. For a creamy finish, fold in homemade mayonnaise.

Hot Tips

Segmenting an orange

To segment an orange slice the peel off the oranges, removing every trace of white pith. With a sharp serrated knife cut out each segment from between the membranes, dropping the segments into a bowl as you go, and turning the membranes over like the pages in a book.

Glossary

Cinnamon

Cinnamon or Cassia Bark is harvested from the bark of the cinnamon tree. Cinnamon is much finer than cassia.
