POTATO SALAD

Ingredients
2 tbsp chopped walnuts
1 tbsp tarragon or cider vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp walnut oil
Flaked sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
900g/2lb new potatoes washed or scrubbed
2 tbsp chopped green tarragon leaves
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 tbsp chopped gherkins can be added for added flavor.
Preparation
Place walnuts in a hot over (about 200c/400f/Gas 6) for a few minutes until beginning to color slightly. This gives a fresher, less bitter flavor to the nuts.
Place the vinegar, mustard, oils, honey and salt and pepper in a screw-top jar, or in the bowl of a small hand blender. Shake or blend well until creamy. Add more seasoning if preferred. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 15-20 minutes until just tender. Drain well and, when just cool enough to handle, cut into halves, or quarters, if quite large.
Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl with the tarragon, shallots, the dressing as you want. Serve just warm or at room temperature.
