Twice Cooked Baby Potatoes with Caper, Lemon and Herb Butter

twice cooked baby potatoes with caper lemon and herb butter

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180degrees Celsius on fan force.
  2. Scrub the potatoes clean. Do not peel.
  3. Place in a medium sized pot and cover with cold water.
  4. Bring to the boil. Boil the potatoes for approx. 15mins or until just cooked. A knife should go through with little resistance but should not break the potatoes open.
  5. Drain and set aside.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Add the lemon rind, herbs and capers. Remove from heat and allow to steep together for at least 5 minutes.
  7. Place the cooked potatoes in an ovenproof dish in a single layer.
  8. Using a potato masher, gently press on the potatoes until the skin breaks and they crush slightly.
  9. Pour the butter over the potatoes using a pastry brush; ensure all the potatoes are brushed with the butter.
  10. Bake for approx. 25mins or until crisp and golden.
  11. Season with ground rock salt as desired.
