Crispy Potatoes with Parsley and Chickpea Salad on Lemon Cream (Serves 3)
-----------------------
Potatoes:
1.2 kg small potatoes (floury)
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/3 tsp pepper
Salad:
40 g fresh parsley
180 g chickpeas (drained weight)
1/2 cucumber (150 g)
2 tomatoes (180 g)
1 small red onion (50 g, peeled)
1 red chili pepper
1 garlic clove (pressed)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
2 tsp Maple syrup
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/3 tsp salt
Lemon cream:
300g plant-based skyr/quark
1 clove garlic (pressed)
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
2 tsp lemon zest
1/3 tsp salt
Pinch of pepper
-----------------------
Potatoes: Cut the potatoes (with skins on) into bite-sized pieces and boil in well-salted water for 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and toss to lightly roughen the surface. Transfer to a bowl and let steam dry (and ideally cool completely). Toss with 3 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 200°C (390°F) convection for 30 minutes – tossing halfway through. Remove from the oven and toss with 1 tbsp oil, paprika, and cumin. Bake for another 10 minutes until crispy.
Salad: Roughly chop the parsley, dice the cucumber and tomato, and finely dice the onion and chili. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix.
Cream: Combine all ingredients. Ideally, refrigerate for 1 hour afterward to allow it to firm up and the flavors to intensify.
