Ingredients

  • 750 g baby potatoes
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • 200 g Greek yogurt
  • micro greens to serve

For the Salsa Verde

  • 2 tbsp lilliput capers see note
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • handful of parsley
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 50 ml olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C.
  • Using a sharp knife slice the potatoes 3/4 of the way through all the way along. Pop onto a baking tray and drizzle over plenty of olive oil, and sprinkle over some sea salt. Roast until golden and crispy: this should take 30-40 minutes.
  • For the labneh line a sieve with a clean muslin cloth and place a bowl underneath. Tip the yoghurt on top of the cloth and allow to sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, give it a little squeeze and you should have a lovely thick mixture.
  • For the salsa verde finely chop the parsley and place in a bowl with the capers, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of salt and stir well.
  • Spread the labneh on a plate, top with the potatoes and drizzle over plenty of Salsa Verde along with a sprinkle of micro greens.

Notes

Nonpareille capers, another type of tiny caper will also work well here, and you can also use chopped regular capers.
