JUMP INTO JUNE WITH WHY

BY OUR RESIDENT FOODIE KATIE FRASER

Potato Kings

It’s Jersey Royal season! These waxy little kidneyshaped gems have delicate, papery skin and the most delicious, nutty flavour. And although they often need little more than a knob of butter and a good pinch of sea salt, they are also great flavour carriers.

These sought-after new potatoes are firm in texture, working well in salads and holding their own in a frying pan. They love a delicate dressing and a punchy garnish.

Take full advantage of the short season and wrap them in this quick salsa verde to eat with fish, quiche, lamb chops, or a full barbecue spread.

Serves 4 as a side

500g Jersey Royals

50g fresh herbs available (parsley, coriander, mint, basil, sorrel, chives)

Handful of spinach

1 tbsp capers

200g peas (defrosted from the freezer is fine)

Big glug olive oil

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 or 2 green chillis (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

While you boil your potatoes, pop all your ingredients (but only half the peas) in a small blender/chopper and whizz. Transfer to a bowl, add remaining peas, mix, and once cooled, add your potatoes. Mix again to coat all the potatoes, and serve at room temperature, or in the sunshine.
