Recipe for warm potato-tarragon salad

Serves 4

Author Sally Butcher suggests that the salad can also be served with chopped, hard-cooked eggs and olives.

1. Scrub the potatoes (or peel them if they have thick skins), and cut them into ¾-inch cubes. In a large pot of salted water, bring the potatoes to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until they are cooked through. Drain into a colander.

2. In a bowl, combine the potatoes, herbs, and onion.
