Ingredients

  • 1 kg Potatoes

...for the mint & pea purée

  • 450 g Water
  • 300 g Garden Peas fresh or frozen
  • 1 handful Fresh Mint Leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Stock Powder
  • Salt
  • Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until tender but firm, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl and let the potatoes cool to room temperature.
  • Bring some water to a boil with ½ tablespoon of vegetable stock powder/cube. Add frozen peas, turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Wait 3-5 minutes, then drain the peas and save the vegetable broth.
  • Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • In a food processor, combine peas, fresh mint leaves and 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable broth to start with. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Adjust the consistency with a little more vegetable broth if the purée is too thick. For extra flavour and silky texture, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of vegan butter (skip to keep it oil free).
  • Fold in the pea and mint purée until the potatoes are well coated.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Transfer the potato salad to a serving bowl and garnish with extra mint leaves or chives if desired.
  • Serve chilled or at room temperature.
