Ingredients (2 servings)

New potatoes…200g

Carrots…30g

Snap peas…6

Corn…40g

Ham…40g

Salt and pepper…a pinch

Mayonnaise…1 tablespoon

Milk…1 teaspoon

Instructions

[1] Peel the new potatoes and cut them into 2cm cubes. Place them in a heatproof container. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise, remove the strings from the snap peas, and place them on top of the potatoes. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and heat in a microwave (600W) for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the ham into thin strips and drain the corn.

[2] After heating, remove the plastic wrap and mash the potatoes with a potato masher. Cut the carrots into 5mm slices and the snap peas into 1cm slices.

[3] Add the milk, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper and mix. Add the carrots, snap peas, corn, and ham and mix further. Adding milk results in a moist potato salad.

Serve in a bowl and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste.
