THE BEST NEW POTATOES

With the season for jersey royals upon us, you have to make the most of the crop when available. Although over 90% of the crop is exported to mainland Briton the season is so short you have to be quick, by the end of may they will all but disappear, until the eagerly awaited season next year. But the question remains what to do to them? It would be a sin to do to much to such a superior product, when produce tastes this good keep it simple!

Boil to just tender, season well with Sea salt and ground black pepper add a couple of pats of unsalted butter(good quality) and a sprinkle of fresh chopped flat leaf parsley. If so desired a hint of lemon can be added, but not to much only a little to help along the butter.

NOTE;
Anya is another superb variety of new potato that is a rather odd shape with a knobbly surface and skin, taste wise Anya has a masculine nutty note and fine texture. Again keep it simple.
