Steps:
- Remove and discard eyes and any damaged parts of potatoes, but do not peel them. Rinse well under cold water, place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil over high heat; then, reduce heat to medium. Boil gently until potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Drain any water from the potatoes, and spread them out in a gratin dish to cool. When cool enough to handle, cut the unpeeled potatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Spread the slices out in a single layer, so they are less likely to break, in the gratin dish.
- Trim the watercress stems, removing about 2 inches, and set the trimmings aside for a soup, perhaps. Wash the trimmed watercress and dry thoroughly. There should be about 4 cups.
- Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl large enough to hold the finished salad. Do not worry if these dressing ingredients separate. The mixture should not be emulsified.
- At serving time, add the potatoes and watercress to the dressing in the bowl, and toss lightly but thoroughly. Serve immediately, as the watercress tends to wilt quickly once it is combined with the dressing.

AVOCADO POTATO SALAD
I got this potato salad recipe from a friend who got it from an adapted recipe from the California Avocado Commission. It's a wonderful recipe, that is lighter because the wonderful tangy dressing substitutes for mayo in most salads such as this. Lots of wonderful flavors, textures, and colors! You may serve this at room temperature, but it is best covered tightly and chilled for 1 to 3 hrs before serving. Can be prepared up to three hours in advance before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use waxy potatoes, such as new potatoes or fingerling potatoes, as they hold their shape well when boiled.
- To prevent the potatoes from discoloring, place them in a bowl of cold water as soon as they are cooked.
- If you don't have any cress, you can substitute another leafy green, such as arugula or spinach.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a good quality olive oil and vinegar. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard to taste.
- This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the potatoes will start to absorb the dressing and become soggy if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This salad of boiled potatoes, avocado, and cress is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. The potatoes are creamy and tender, the avocado is rich and flavorful, and the cress adds a peppery bite. This salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
