Hot and crispy potatoes with a green dressing from Nigel Slater.
Ingredients
- 500 g new potatoes
- 3 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil
- 50 g spinach leaves
- 1 lemon
- 10 g mint leaves
- 1 small clove garlic peeled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp capers
- large open salad leaves to serve
Servings:
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes then cook them in deep, salted boiling water for about 20 minutes. Check for doneness with the point of a metal skewer, then drain them in a colander.
- Cut the potatoes into thick coins. Warm the groundnut or vegetable oil in a shallow pan, then add the potato slices in one layer and fry for 10 minutes or so until golden. Turn them over once the underside has turned a deep golden yellow.
- Wash the spinach, then put the leaves into a blender or food processor. Finely grate the zest from the lemon and add to the spinach with the leaves from the mint, the peeled garlic and the olive oil.
- Blend until thick and smooth. Pour into a mixing bowl, add the capers and check the seasoning.
- Remove the potatoes from the pan, drain briefly on kitchen paper, then add to the spinach dressing and toss gently. Place the salad leaves on serving plates, then divide the still-hot potatoes among them, and serve.
