potato
I think iv not mentioned this before. Back in March i popped into a grow bag a couple of potatoes that had been lurking too long in my veg rack and had sprouted.. I wanted to see if i could get a crop from them.
While i was down at my lottie yesterday i noticed the foliage had died down, so i tipped them out and surprisingly there were quite a few [enough for two meals] small potatoes, around the size of a brussel sprout. I cooked them tonight in this recipe; And very nice it was too.
Warm Chicken & Potato Salad
- 500g new / salad potatoes, cut into ½ cm slices
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 100g baby spinach
- 4 cooked chicken breasts, sliced 400g
- 100g cherry tomatoes, halved
Method Place the potatoes in a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain, and toss in 2 tbsp oil. Fry potatoes in a frying pan for 6-7 minutes until soft and golden.
Add the vinegar, remaining oil and spinach and cook for a few moments until slightly wilted.
Stir in the chicken and tomatoes then serve
I got the recipe from this website Sorry for the lack of photos as my camera has gone traveling [again] to Ireland with my daugher.
