Cooking Steps

Bake the potatoes
1

• Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
• Slice potato into halves.
• Place potato halves on a lined oven tray. Drizzle 
with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
Arrange so that each potato is cut-side down.
• Bake until crisp and tender, 35-45 minutes.
• Remove from oven, then carefully turn each potato 
to be cut-side up.
• Return to oven to bake until golden, a further  
6-8 minutes. 
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the potatoes 
between two trays.

• While potatoes are baking, finely chop brown onion 
and garlic.

to frying pan. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

the water. Simmer until thickened, 2-4 minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Make the salad

a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil.
