Potatoes are a shopping staples in lots of family homes, you can mash, roast, bake and fry them and add them to so many different meals to help bulk them out. They’re just so versatile that you can pretty much make them a part of every meal. Hassleback potatoes are a simple and very easy way to try something different with them and when loaded with mint and feta cheese it gives them lots of flavour and freshness.
The humble potato has been given a bit of a bad reputation as being perceived as unhealthy and carb-tastic, but I believe that they do have a place as part of a balanced lifestyle, plus their really delicious.

Recently, we’ve been enjoying these Cypriot New Potatoes from Tesco. These particular new potatoes are in season only until March, so we’ve been making sure that we’re making the most of them while they’re about. They can be boiled or steamed, but I like them served this way as the skin browns on the outside a little and the centres are all fluffy.
Food at this time of year can be quite heavy, so these made a nice change. Adding the feta cheese and the fresh mint really gives the potatoes a lift and actually makes them quite summery.
This year I’m hoping to upload 1-2 videos a month to my YouTube channel. These will be a mix of lifestyle and recipe videos, so here’s my first one – I hope you like it!
How do you like to serve your new potatoes?
