2 tablespoons walnut pieces (optional)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons walnut oil
1 teaspoon honey
flaked sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs new potatoes, scrubbed
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 large shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons cornichons, chopped (optional)

1
If you're using the walnuts, place in a hot oven about 400F for a few minutes until beginning to colour slightly.
2
This gives a fresher, less bitter flavour to the nuts.
3
Place the vinegar, mustard, oils, honey and salt and pepper in a screw-top jar or in the bowl of a small hand blender.
4
Shake or blend well until creamy.
5
Add more seasoning if preferred.
6
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 15-20 minutes until just tender.
7
Drain well and, when just cool enough to handle, cut into halves or quarters, if quite large.
8
Place the potatoes in a mixing bowl with the tarragon, shallots, cornichons and walnuts, if using, and toss in as much or as little of the dressing as you want.
9
Serve just warm or, if you're not eating straight away, refrigerate and return the salad to room temperature before eating.
