New potato salad with aïoli
Crisp, golden potatoes are paired with fresh radish and zingy aïoli in this summery dish (a great side for your next barbecue)
Ingredients
- 1 kg baby new potatoes
- 80 g salted butter
- 1 onion large, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds lightly crushed
- 2 tsp coriander seeds lightly crushed
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lemon juiced
- 200 g radishes thinly sliced
- 1 bunch dill roughly torn
AIOLI
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 large cloves garlic crushed
- 2 lemons juiced
- 250 ml olive oil plus extra for frying
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool.
- Cook the butter and onion in a large frying pan for 5 minutes or until turning translucent. Add the garlic and fry for another 5 minutes. Add the mustard seeds and coriander seeds, and fry until starting to smell fragrant. Add the dijon mustard and juice of 1 lemon and mix. Transfer to a bowl.
- Tip the cooled potatoes onto a clean worksurface and use the flat side of a knife to lightly squash each one. Fry the potatoes in a little more oil in a large non-stick frying pan for 10-15 minutes or until starting to crisp up. Tip onto kitchen paper to drain.
- In the meantime, make the aïoli. Put the egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice and plenty of seasoning in a small blender, and whizz until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while still blending on a low speed, until it emulsifies, thickens and is smooth.
- Put the crispy smashed potatoes into a bowl and mix in most of the onion butter and sliced radishes.
- Spread the aïoli across a platter and pile the potatoes on top. Finish with a drizzle of the remaining butter and lots of fresh dill.
