Method

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix the lemon zest and juice together with the sliced red onion.

Then make the wild garlic mayonnaise. In a mortar and pestle, mash the wild garlic leaves, salt and oil until puréed to a pulp and mix this into the mayonnaise. Chill until needed.

Drain the potatoes and set them aside
