Ingredients
 

  • 800 grams main crop or Russet Potatoes peeled and cut into 1.5cm cubes
  • 2 tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 1/2 brown onion thinly sliced
  • 30 g flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
  • 15 g mint roughly chopped

For the dressing

  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 1 tsp salt flakes
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 60 ml lemon juice

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.
