Chef's Tips
For a richer dressing, add a tablespoon of Jersey double cream.
If you can't find Jersey Royals, use another small, waxy potato.
Feel free to add other seasonal vegetables like sliced cucumber or baby spinach.
The warm potatoes help to wilt the watercress slightly, adding to the overall flavor.
