Instructions
800 grams main crop or Russet Potatoes
Rinse the potato cubes to remove any excess starch.
Then place in a medium saucepan and cover with enough cold water to come 2cm above the level of the potato.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 min until tender but not soft enough to fall apart. Drain and leave to cool to room temperature.
To make the dressing,
1 clove garlic, 1 tsp salt flakes, 1 tsp sweet paprika, 60 ml extra virgin olive oil, 60 ml lemon juice
Place all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and mix together well.
2 tomatoes, 1/2 brown onion, 30 g flat leaf parsley, 15 g mint
Combine the potato, tomato, onion, parsley and mint in a bowl, pour over the dressing and gently toss to coat.
This salad is best served while the potato is still lukewarm but it can be made ahead of time, refrigerated and served cold as well.
