Ingredients
500g new potatoes (cooked)
1 sprig of thyme
50g mozzarella cheese
Sea salt flakes
Ground black pepper
Rapeseed oil
- For the Spicy Miso Sauce:
50g spring onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 tbsp red miso paste
1 tsp cayenne pepper
130ml water
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Rapeseed oil
Ground rock salt
Ground black pepper
- Optional for Serving:
Rocket leaves (arugula)
Directions
- Cook the Potatoes: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Season with sea salt flakes and add the thyme and new potatoes. Simmer with the lid on for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Spicy Miso Sauce: Heat a small frying pan with rapeseed oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped spring onion and grated garlic until fragrant. Stir in miso paste and cayenne pepper and cook until aromatic.
- Deglaze & Finish the Sauce: Add water to deglaze the pan, stirring well. Remove from heat, then mix in Dijon mustard. Season with ground rock salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Crisp the Potatoes: In an ovenproof skillet, heat some rapeseed oil over medium heat. Add the cooked potatoes and fry until golden brown.
- Smash & Season: Use a masher or spoon to gently smash the potatoes in the pan. Season with ground rock salt and black pepper and mix well.
- Add Cheese & Roast: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the potatoes. Roast in a preheated oven at 180°C (fan) for about 20 minutes until golden and melty.
- Serve: Top with fresh rocket leaves (if using) and drizzle with the spicy miso sauce. Serve immediately.
