400g pack Jersey Royal Potatoes
2 tbsp buttermilk
1½ tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp wholegrain or Dijon mustard
2 salad onions, finely chopped
1 gherkin, finely chopped, plus 1 tbsp of the pickling liquor
¼ tsp fine sea salt
286 pack British Pork Schnitzel with Lemon & Thyme Crumb
¼ x 20g pack dill, chopped
¼ x 20g pack chives, finely chopped
Steamed green beans or a green salad, to serve (optional)

Ideally, make the potato salad at least 4 hours in advance. Halve, quarter or leave the Jersey Royals whole, depending on their size, then put in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for 12-15 minutes or until completely tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, mustard, salad onions, gherkin and the pickling liquor in a large mixing bowl with the salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Drain the potatoes and add straight to the bowl, tossing in the dressing. Cool to room temperature, then chill if eating later.
Meanwhile, cook the pork schnitzel according to pack instructions. Allow the potato salad to come back up to room temperature, if needed, then toss the chopped herbs through the potato salad. Serve with the schnitzel and steamed green beans or a green salad, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Buttermilk

A bit like a looser natural yogurt in texture, buttermilk makes for salad dressrings with both acidity and creaminess. It also provides the easiest route to fluffier bakes and pancakes. Visit waitrose.com/recipes for ideas.
