Ingredients
  

Potato

  • 15 potatoes small
  • 4 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Honey Chilli Sauce

  • 1 -2 cloves garlic
  • 1- inch grated ginger
  • 1 green chilli
  • ½ red onion chopped finely
  • ½ red capsicum chopped finely
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ tbsp red chili flakes
  • 1 tbsp corn flour
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ Cup honey
  • ¼ Cup Coriander chopped finely
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped chives optional

Instructions
 

Potatoes

  • Place the potatoes in a medium or large saucepan.
  • Add water until about 5cm below the top and bring this to boil over medium/high heat.
  • Cook the potatoes until they are softened, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200⁰C.
  • Strain the potatoes well, ensuring there is no excess water.
  • Using a fork smash the potatoes so they are crushed. If you use a lot of force, they will be thinner and crispier. If you lightly crush them, they will be fluffier.
  • The previous step may release a bit more water so let them sit for 5 minutes or so.
  • In a greased or baking paper lined baking tray, add the potatoes. Drizzle with the oil, salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 35 – 40 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Honey Chilli Sauce

  • In a medium fry pan on medium/high heat add the tablespoon of oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger and chilli. Sautee until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Then add onion and sauté until translucent. About 2 minutes.
  • Then add the capsicum and sauté until softened, stirring regularly. About 5 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce, vinegar and tomato paste. Sautee for about a minute until well combined and the raw taste has gone.
  • Mix the corn flour in the water, stir with a small spoon until well combined.
  • Pour into the frypan and sauté until mixed through and you can’t taste the corn flour. About 3 – 5 minutes.
  • Season to taste and add the chili flakes.
  • Add the honey and cook for just half a minute, giving the honey some time to heat up.
  • Then take the sauce off the heat.
  • Add the coriander and chives to the sauce. Mix it through.
  • Pour the sauce over the baked crushed potatoes. If you like to have more of a neat look, add about a tablespoon of sauce to each potato instead.
  • Serve immediately!
