Mini hasselbacks with soured cream, dill & pink pickled onions
- Preparation and cooking time
- Prep:
- Cook:
- plus at least 4 hrs pickling
- Easy
- Serves 8
Ingredients
- 1.5kg new potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves, bashed
- 8 tbsp soured cream
- ½ small bunch of dill, chopped
For the pickled onions
- 50g sugar
- 100ml cider or white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
- 1 medium red onion, finely sliced
Method
- STEP 1
Make the pickled onions at least 4 hrs before serving. Combine the sugar and 100ml boiling water in a non-metallic heatproof bowl. Stir in the vinegar and salt. Add the onions and press down with a spoon to submerge. Cover and leave to pickle for at least 4 hours, or chill overnight.
- STEP 2
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Finely slice the potatoes at regular intervals along their length without cutting through. Transfer to a baking tray, drizzle with the oil, season, add the garlic and roast for 1 hr-1 hr 20 mins, tossing occasionally, until tender and golden.
- STEP 3
Whisk the soured cream with most of the dill, then season. Transfer the potatoes to a serving plate and dollop a teaspoon of the soured cream mixture over each. Drain the pickled onions (use the pickling liquid for salad dressings, if you like) and add a few pieces to each potato. Scatter with the remaining dill.
