In a large bowl mix together the crème fraîche, most of the chopped mint, most of the lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add the cooled potatoes and sliced radishes.

Sprinkle the remaining chopped mint, lemon zest and chilli, if using, over the potato salad and serve.

Cook’s Tips:

This recipe is also delicious if you add a handful of green beans, cooked for the last 5 minutes with the potatoes and then refreshed in cold water. Alternatively try using leftover cooked potatoes to make this recipe.
