  • Potatoes and greens

    • 800 g Small potatoes
    • 4 stk Scallions
    • 1 bundt Chives

  • Dressing

    • 200 g Crème fraîche 18%

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the potatoes

    1. Rinse the potatoes and cook them in lightly salted water until tender but still firm (typically 15–20 min, depending on size).
    2. Drain and let the potatoes sit 3–5 minutes so surface moisture evaporates and they take the dressing better.
    3. Let them cool until lukewarm (not piping hot) before tossing with dressing.
