8 medium boiling potatoes, peeled                        
1 Cup shelled fresh peas

Dressing:
1 cup whole egg mayonnaise                                   
2 tblsps lemon juice

Method:
1.     Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for about 25 minutes or until tender. (be careful not to overcook them) Drain well and place in a large bowl to cool.
2.     Boil, steam or microwave peas until just tender. Drain. Rinse under cold water and drain well again. Add peas to potatoes.
3.     Combine salt, cumin, curry powder and turmeric in a small bowl and mix well. Cook spices in  a small frying pan over a low heat for 5 minutes or until fragrant. Remove spices from heat and sprinkle over potatoes. Toss potatoes to coat evenly.
4.      Using tongs, take one potato out of bowl at a time and cut into thick slices. Return to bowl.
5.      Make the dressing, whisk all ingredients in a small bowl until combined.
6.     Pour dressing over potatoes and toss gently to combine. Serve potato salad warm or cold    garnished with spring onions.
 
Note: If you can’t get fresh peas don’t try using frozen just omit that step from the process. Will taste just as delicious.
