Step-by-step
- Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8–10 mins or until cooked through – a cutlery knife should easily pierce them. Drain and leave to cool in a colander.
- Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan and cook the Prosciutto di Parma until beginning to crisp, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to cool and crisp further, then break into pieces.
- To make the dressing, in a large bowl mix together the mayonnaise, yogurt, capers, dill, chives, seasoning and a good squeeze of lemon juice to taste.
- Tip the potatoes and celery into the dressing and gently stir to combine, then fold in the egg.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a little dill and chives and the crispy Prosciutto di Parma.
