Twice smashed potatoes are on constant rotation in my house. The crispier the better. But this salad is inspired by a photo my talented friend Sarah from “The Delicious” posted on her Instagram. You must check her out.
I have used sweet potatoes to sweeten my salad up. And I’ve added my favorite Nando’s Peri- Peri to give it a kick and some honey to glaze the potatoes. I’ve served it on some mustardy arugula with some creamy feta.
Make it immediately. You can thank me later xxx MM
