A light and refreshing Jersey Royal potato salad with peppery watercress and a zesty lemon-dill vinaigrette. Perfect as a starter or side dish.
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 fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, halve or quarter them depending on their size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, watercress, and chopped dill.
Pour the lemon-dill vinaigrette over the potato mixture and toss gently to coat.
Serve immediately or chill for later. Chilling for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld.

Don't overcook the potatoes, they should be tender but still hold their shape.
For a richer flavour, add a tablespoon of mayonnaise to the vinaigrette.
If you can't find Jersey Royal potatoes, use another variety of new potatoes.
