1 kg coarse sea salt

3 large sebago potatoes (about 1kg)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 air-dried chorizo, thinly sliced (see note)

50 gm Niçoise olives

Method

Main

1.Preheat oven to 200C. Scatter sea salt in the base of a roasting pan, place potatoes on top and roast until tender (1-1½ hours). Cool, peel away a little skin then, using a spoon, scoop out flesh from potato, keeping it in large pieces, and set aside. Discard skins.

2.Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add chorizo and olives and sauté over medium heat until golden (5-7 minutes). Add potato and preserved lemon, stir to combine, then add butter and cook, stirring occasionally without breaking up potato, until potato is golden (5-10 minutes). Add herbs and green onion, toss gently to combine and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Air-dried chorizo is available from Spanish and select delicatessens. Preserved lemons are available from David Jones Food Hall and select delicatessens.
