All-way potato salad
New potatoes with your choice of three dressings
Warm new potatoes boiled in their skins and tossed in one of three dressings: creamy parsley sour cream, a tangy basil vinaigrette, or a fresh 'greeny' dressing of cottage cheese and herbs. Each dressing is enough for 500 g of potatoes, so make one, or make all three for a party. Serve the salad chilled on a bed of lettuce with a spoonful of single cream on top.

Method
0/8 doneStep 1: Scrub 1 ⅛ lb new potatoes well and prick them all over with a fork.
Step 2: Cook them in their skins in a pan of water with 1 tsp salt over a medium heat until just tender, 15–20 minutes. A knife should slide in easily, but they should not break up.
18 minStep 3: Drain well and leave to cool for 5 minutes, while you make one of the dressings.
5 minStep 4: For the parsley sour cream dressing: combine 1 cup sour cream, 4 spring onions, 3 tbsp light eggless mayonnaise and 3 tbsp fresh parsley well, and season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper.
Step 5: For the vinaigrette: whisk 6 tbsp salad oil, 3 tbsp wine vinegar, 2 tsp mustard paste, 2 tsp sugar and 8 fresh basil leaves well, then season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper.
Step 6: For the greeny dressing: mix 9 oz cottage cheese, 2 tbsp eggless mayonnaise, 2 tbsp fresh dill, 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, 2 tbsp fresh coriander, 2 tbsp fresh parsley and 1 onion, and season with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper.
Step 7: Add your chosen dressing to the warm potatoes (cut large ones in half) and toss gently until well coated. Warm potatoes soak up the flavour best.
Step 8: Line a salad bowl with 6 lettuce leaves, pile the potato salad on top and spoon a little ¼ cup single cream over it. Chill and serve cold.
