About

I discovered this great warm potato salad years ago while working at the Dorchester. It goes with just about anything - from sausages to a piece of grilled salmon - or you can serve it as part of a buffet salad selection. You could use other waxy potatoes, such as Charlotte or Pink Fir Apple.

Ingredients

300-350 g Anya or other waxy potatoes (unpeeled)
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 12-15 minutes until just tender. Drain and leave until cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, put the onion, bacon, cumin seeds, cider vinegar and chicken stock into a saucepan and simmer gently until the liquid has reduced by about two-thirds, then take off the heat.

Peel the potatoes and cut into 3 mm thick slices.
