Warm Jersey Royal Potato Salad with Chicken and Spinach

Make the most of Jersey Royal potatoes from spring until early summer when they are in season. Grown only on Jersey, these sweet, sometimes earthy-tasting potatoes are easily identified by their long, oval shape and delicate skin. Team them with asparagus, chicken, bacon lardons and spinach to make this simple meal.
