1 hourIngredients
- 1kg Food Lover’s Market Baby (Potjie) Potatoes
- 15ml (1 Tbsp) Food Lover’s Market Signature Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 15ml (1 Tbsp) maple syrup
- 3 sprigs of fresh rosemary, chopped
- 80ml (1/3 cup) Food Lover’s Market Canola Mayonnaise
- 60ml (1/4 cup) sour cream
- 80ml (1/3 cup) Food Lover’s Market Sundried Tomato Pesto
- Handful parsley, chopped
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, to garnish
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Place the baby potatoes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and maple syrup and sprinkle with rosemary. Season to taste.
- Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and smash each potato slightly with a fork. This creates texture and will result in a crispier potato. Place back into the oven for about 20 minutes or until crispy and golden.
- For the dipping sauce, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sundried tomato pesto, parsley, lime zest and juice, and mix well. Season to taste.
- Garnish the potatoes with fresh basil leaves and serve with the zesty sundried tomato dipping sauce.
