Blend the avocados, lime juice, garlic and chilli until creamy. Season and chill. Mix together the dressing ingredients. Pile the beetroot onto a platter.
Squash each potato and add to the beetroot. Drizzle with the dressing. Toss watercress over and add a large dollop of the avocado cream.
Cook’s note: If you can’t find yellow beetroots, use only red ones.
