Jane made this recipe, in true heroic fashion, after we’ve both had quite a busy week. This was the simplest way we could think of to centre this week’s exciting new addition to the share – POTATOES! We neither boiled, nor mashed, nor stuck these in a stew, but instead sliced very finely, tossed in oil and lime juice and cilantro, and baked at a high heat. But I think Samwise Gamgee would still approve. This has the added benefit of the zest from all this week’s fresh herbs!
This recipe serves two, but honestly, we shoulda tripled it. And it was “easy peasy, lime squeezy”, as Jane just said, to everyone’s horror. She is incorrigible.
