Hasselback potatoes with peanut, mint and coriander salsa
Ingredients
1kg baby potatoes
1/3 cup olive oil
Micro herbs, to serve (optional)
Peanut, mint and coriander salsa
1/4 cup roasted peanuts, salted
1 bunch coriander, chopped
1/2 mint, leaves picked
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 long green chilli, finely chopped
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
1/2 lime zest finely grated
1 lime juice
1/3 cup olive oil
Method
Preheat oven to 220°F. Bring potatoes to a boil in a saucepan filled with cold salted water and place over medium-high heat. Cook for five minutes or until slightly tender and drain. Once the potatoes cool down, use a small, serrated knife to make deep scores in the potatoes about 2mm apart (do not slice them all the way down).
Spread potatoes, cut-side up, in a single layer over a paper-lined baking tray and drizzle with 1/3 cup of olive oil. Season and roast for 50-60 minutes until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile, for the salsa, place all ingredients in a small food processor and blitz to a coarse puree. Season to taste. Place potatoes on a platter. Drizzle over salsa and scatter with micro herbs and serve.
