The Method
- 1
Place the Jersey Royal potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.
- 2
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lemon-herb vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 3
Drain the potatoes well and allow them to cool slightly until you can handle them comfortably. Halve or quarter the potatoes, depending on their size.
- 4
In a large bowl, combine the warm potatoes and watercress. Pour the lemon-herb vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- 5
Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Chef's Tips
For a more intense lemon flavor, add a little lemon zest to the vinaigrette.
If you can't find Jersey Royal potatoes, use other new potatoes instead.
The salad can be prepared ahead of time, but add the watercress just before serving to prevent it from wilting.
