Recipe of the month June 2013
How I wait for the new potatoes! And when I get them, I have quite a lot and not sure how to cook them, apart from the classic New Potato Salad. I discovered this recipe in the July issue of Country Living, by Sarah Raven, and think it is delicious! Would you like to share your ways of cooking with new potatoes?
