2 lbs charlotte potatoes (or salad or new potatoes)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon liquid maggi seasoning sauce (from Supermarkets or delicatessen)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 sweet gherkins, finely chopped (also add 1 tablespoon liquid from Cucumber Gherkin jar)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper

1
Allow 1 hour cooling time at end of recipe!
2
Boil the potatoes in their skins for about 15 minutes, checking to ensure they are just done but not falling apart.
3
Meanwhile make the sauce by adding all the other ingredients together in a big mixing bowl.
4
When you taste the sauce it should be quite vinegary and salty - adjust to achieve this taste by adding more vinegar if too bland or more mayonnaise if too acidic. Remember: The potatoes will soak up most of the liquid, the salt and the vinegar.
5
Drain the potatoes and while still hot (use kitchen gloves) cut into half inch (1.5 cm) slices, peeling potatoes only if you used new potatoes or have a phobia about skins.
6
Add sufficient sauce to achieve a wet look, mix under and leave to cool.
7
Before serving taste again and add more sauce or adjust taste if needed.
8
Serve with Frankfurter Sausages, Beefburgers or serve with Bar-be-ques.
