- 1 tbsp white-wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C fan.
- Cut the potatoes into wedges, place on a baking sheet and mix with the oil and some salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing them now and again, then leave to cool.
- Slice the fennel very thinly and cut the spring onions into 5mm slices on an angle.
- For the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, honey and some salt and pepper, then whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream until the vinaigrette is thickened. Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Pour over the potatoes and mix gently, then place the potatoes on a serving dish and sprinkle evenly with the fennel, spring onions, peas and parsley before serving.
