Method

Roast Jersey Royal Method
1. Heat a pan just big enough to for the potatoes. Add 25g butter then add the potatoes.
2. Colour them gently without burning the butter until they are golden brown.
3. Add the remaining butter, thyme, kelp and garlic.
4. Cook very gently on a low heat for a couple of hours until they are nice and soft. They will have the internal texture of a baked potato.
Creamed Potato Method
1. In a small pan cover the Jersey royals with water and add a pinch of salt.
2. Bring to the boil, then simmer until just cooked.
3. Remove from the water and while hot push through a potato ricer.
4. Place the butter, buttermilk and crème fraiche into a pan and reduce by half.
5. Whisk in the potatoes very carefully, just until you have a wet but solid potato puree that holds.
Seaweed Cream Sauce Method
1. Reduce the cream by a 1/3.
2. Add the vinegar, crème fraiche and kelp, season with lemon juice if needed.
