1. Put the potatoes in a pan of boiling water and simmer gently for 12-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool under cold running water. Cut into 1cm slices.
2. Mix the lemon zest and juice with the mustard and slowly whisk in the olive oil until thick. Toss the potatoes in the dressing, season generously with salt and cayenne and scatter with spring onion and flat-leaf parsley (if using).

  I have made this 3 times in the last month. After looking for a mayonaise-free potato salad for weeks (can't stand mayonaise!) i have finnaly hit on a winner! It works best alongside bbq's or pan-fried salmon. The only tip i have is allowing it to chill for as long as possible as it is always much better on the second day after a night in the fridge.

  I really liked this but found it too oily. The 2nd time I halved the oil and it was way better. The potatoes were best steamed in their skins and peeled when cool enough to handle.

  A bit of an odd flavour! Wouldn't do it again - prefer a mayo dressing.

  I halved the amount of olive oil (then added a bit more to taste) and added 2 tsps honey to ease the tartness. Very nice alternative to mayonnaisey-style potatos salads. Went well with the bbq thai style salmon recipe and kept in the fridge for two days.
