Potato Salad (Irish)

Nothing says summer in Ireland like an old-fashioned potato salad, the key is to keep it as simple as possible. Irish cookery is never fancy schmancy. Serve chilled with your favourite grilled meats.

1 lb baby potatoes (500 g)
1 Tbsp. butter
½ cup mayonnaise
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Put the potatoes on the boil for 20-25 minutes. Until they fall off the knife when you stab them.

Strain them and cut them into bite-sized pieces if needed. Pour into bowl.

Add butter and stir until melted.

Add mayo, and salt and pepper and stir until potatoes are coated.

Garnish with chives.

Makes 5-6 servings as a side.
