SERVES

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 750g New/Baby potatoes
  • 1 roasted red pepper (jarred)
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 2 small red chillies
  • 80ml olive oil
  • 30ml apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (optional)
  • 3 tbsp coarse sea salt

Method

1
Put the potatoes in a pan with all the salt and cover with boiling water. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 minutes until softened.
2
Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth to make the sauce.
3
Once the 20 minutes are up, drain the potatoes and then put them back in the pan and on a very low heat for about 5 minutes, shaking regularly so the skins wrinkle.
4
Put the potatoes on a plate and smother with the red sauce.
