Introduction from Rukmini Iyer

This is probably my favourite dish in the book – roast potatoes with a spicy peanut dressing and green veg – what’s not to like? It’s been a hit with all my recipe testers too – a potato salad on acid.

Ingredients

1kg Charlotte potatoes, halved
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
240g green beans
300g beansprouts
A handful of fresh coriander, to serve
For the dressing:
50g crunchy peanut butter
80ml coconut milk
2 tbsp lime juice
1½ tbsp soy sauce
1 fresh red chilli, grated
2.5cm ginger, grated

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan/200°C/gas 6.

Mix the potatoes in a roasting tin with the oil and salt, then transfer to the oven and cook for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together all the ingredients for the dressing. Depending on your brand of peanut butter, you may need to add a little more coconut milk so you have a thick, spoonable dressing consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Once the potatoes have had 40 minutes, add the green beans and beansprouts. Add a splash more oil if needed, then return to the oven for a further 20 minutes.

Scatter the potatoes and vegetables with the coriander and serve warm or at room temperature, with the dressing alongside.

Note: Check the seasoning of the dressing by putting a little bit on a cooked potato, and tasting. Add more soy sauce to the rest of the dressing as needed.
