Method

Put the potatoes in a large pan and cover with water. Add the whole mint sprigs and bring to the boil. Cook for 20-25 minutes until tender, adding the peas for the last 5 minutes, then drain and refresh under cold running water until just warm. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the broad beans.
Mix the dressing ingredients, then stir into the potatoes, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
