Crushed Heirloom Potatoes

This vibrant vegetarian side dish elevates the humble spud into something truly special. These crushed heirloom potatoes celebrate the natural, earthy flavours of heritage varieties, providing a wonderful contrast of textures. The warmth of the potatoes gently melts the tangy Gorgonzola or Fourme d'Ambert, creating a creamy coating that is beautifully offset by the peppery crunch of fresh baby rocket and the buttery richness of toasted pecans.

Quick to prepare and naturally gluten-free, this recipe is a versatile addition to your cooking repertoire. It works exceptionally well as a sophisticated accompaniment to a Sunday roast or as a substantial warm salad for a light midweek supper. Using high-quality extra-virgin olive oil ensures a silky finish that ties the savoury cheese and nutty elements together perfectly.
