Ingredients

For the crispy potatoes:

600g Charlotte potatoes, peeled and quartered

½ tsp dried chilli flakes

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp onion granules

1 tsp garlic granules

1 tsp mustard seeds

For the dressing:

3 tbsp mayonnaise

1 tsp wholegrain mustard

½ cucumber, diced

½ red onion, diced

2 tbsp flatleaf parsley

2 tbsp fresh dill

1 tbsp green chilli, chopped

To finish:

80g feta cheese, crumbled

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan. Drizzle enough oil to cover the bottom of an oven proof dish, then place into the oven to heat up.

Parboil the potatoes before draining and leaving them to steam for five minutes.

Pop the potatoes into a bowl, then cover with the spices and mix well.

Carefully place the potatoes into the ovenproof dish once the oil is hot enough.

Cook in the oven for 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy.

In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, cucumber, onion, chilli, parsley and dill, and mix well.

Gently fold through with the crispy potatoes.

To serve, crumble over some creamy feta cheese, and season to taste.

Enjoy!

Resistant to blight and scab, these tubers are ideal for fresh salads, roasting, or sautéing. Plant as soon as received, no chitting is required. For best results, grow in a sheltered, frost-free position, either in the ground, containers, or potato growing sacks placed in a sunny spot, and water regularly to keep the compost moist.
