Make the most of Jersey Royals when they come into season from the beginning of April with this gorgeous savoury potato dish.
900g/ 2lb Jersey Royal Potatoes
50g unsalted butter, melted
Small bunch spring onions, finely chopped
3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Celery salt to season
Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the potatoes, bring back to the boil, then simmer gently for 10 minutes. Drain, then plunge the potatoes into cold water to cool. Cut the potatoes into fairly thin slices. Lightly butter a shallow ovenproof dish and arrange a layer of potatoes in the dish. Brush with some melted butter, top with some spring onion, cheese and a little celery salt. Repeat these layers three more times. Cook in the oven at 200º C, 400º F, Gas mark 6 for 25 minutes.
Tip: Do not peel Jersey potatoes - simply rub any flaky skin gently from the surface. Always put Jersey Royals into boiling water to seal in the flavour. Adding salt to the water is a matter of personal preference.
