Ingredients
  

  • 500g (17.6 oz) / 1.1 lbs heritage potatoes (e.g., Pink Fir Apple, Salad Blue)
  • 160g (5.6 oz) / ⅔ cup good-quality mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) white truffle oil
  • 3 spring onions, finely chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Ensure potatoes are completely cold before slicing and mixing with the mayonnaise. Warm potatoes will break apart and turn the salad mushy.
  • If your potatoes accidentally overcook and burst, drain them, toss with olive oil and herbs, and roast in a hot oven until crispy for a delicious snack.
  • For the best flavour, let the finished salad sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the truffle flavour to meld with the potatoes.
  • Use a high-quality, thick mayonnaise as the base. It provides a better texture and holds up well against the truffle oil and potatoes.

Method
 

  1. Place the heritage potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold, salted water.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook until just tender—test by piercing with a knife. Be careful, as they can overcook quickly.
  3. As soon as the potatoes are cooked, drain them immediately and run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and help them cool down.
  4. While the potatoes cool, prepare the dressing.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and white truffle oil.
  6. Stir in most of the finely chopped spring onions, reserving a small amount for garnish.
  7. Season the dressing generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to compensate for the plain potatoes.
  8. Once the potatoes are completely cold, slice them into uniform, bite-sized pieces.
  9. Gently fold the cooled potato slices into the truffle mayonnaise until they are evenly coated.
  10. Garnish with the reserved spring onions before serving.
