1/2 pound sugar snap peas (if not available, snow peas can be used)
Salt to taste
3/4 pound small red new waxy potatoes
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
4 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots or scallions
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
4 tablespoons finely chopped chervil or parsley or both combined
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Trim off ends of snap peas and remove strings.
In a saucepan, add snap peas and cover with water. Add salt, bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp and tender. Drain.
Place potatoes in a saucepan. Add water to cover and salt. Bring to a boil, simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Do not overcook. Drain. The salad should be made while potatoes are still warm.
Peel potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch slices. Leave skins on if desired. Place slices in a bowl and add snap peas. Add vinegar, oil, shallots, garlic, chervil, salt and pepper. Toss and blend well. Serve immediately.
