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

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.

Meanwhile, put the rest of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth to make the sauce.

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.

Put the potatoes on a plate and smother with the red sauce.
