- Pop the potatoes in a pot; cover with cold water and add a good pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil and reduce to a gentle simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes can be pierced with a knife. Once cooked drain and set aside to cool a little.
- In a large mixing bowl, bring together the creme fraiche, lemon juice, zest and extra virgin olive oil and stir to combine. Grate in some horseradish and stir. Have a taste, and add more horseradish as needed.
- Add the potatoes to the bowl along with the onion, capers, tarragon or dill, and season with a pinch of salt and a generous pinch of cracked pepper.
- Carefully fold through the pea cress and serve your potato salad alongside your favourite protein.
