Ingredients

Potatoes are a great source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, fibre and good carbohydrates that keep you fuller for longer. Keep the skin on for extra goodness!

  • 600g large potatoes
  • 4tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 small cloves garlic, crushed
  • 4tsp brown mustard seeds
  • Flaked salt

Method

  1. If preferred the potatoes can be finely peeled or the skins can be removed once cooked. Boil the potatoes for 10-12 mins until just tender then drain and slice thickly.
  2. Meanwhile heat 1tbsp of the olive oil in a small frying pan and cook the onion over a moderate heat until softened and golden.
  3. Increase the heat slightly and add the garlic and mustard seeds, cook for 1-2 mins, stirring. The mustard seeds will pop during cooking. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  4. Heat the rest of the olive oil in a very large frying pan. Add the potato slices in a single layer. If the pan is not large enough cook in two batches, keeping the first batch hot in the oven.
  5. Fry the potato slices over a moderately hot temperature for 5-7 mins turning them until crisp and golden on each side. Lift the sauteed potatoes into a warm bowl, lined with kitchen paper to drain them. Remove the paper, add the onion mixture and toss together. Crush some flaked salt over and serve.
