Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ gas 6. Tip the new potatoes into a pan of cold salted water set over a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 mins, or until just softened then drain.

  • Step 2

    Mix the harissa with 2 tbsp olive oil and set aside.

  • Step 3

    Meanwhile, make the whipped feta. Add 1 tbsp olive oil a food processor with the feta and yoghurt then whizz for 1 min, or until smooth. Pick the leaves from 3 mint sprigs and add these, then whizz for a few secs. Transfer to a bowl, season to taste then cover and chill.

  • Step 4

    Roughly crush the drained potatoes with your hands to make large chunks. Spread over a lined baking tray, pour over the harissa mix and toss to coat. Sprinkle with a little salt then roast for 35-40 mins until crispy and just charred in places.

  • Step 5

    To make the herb salad, put the red onion, coriander leaves, remaining handful mint leaves, lemon juice and remaining tbsp olive oil in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a good grating of black pepper.

  • Step 6

    Spoon the whipped feta onto each serving plate, top with crispy potatoes and a handful of salad then serve.
