Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Scrub the potatoes and scrape if necessary. Halve lengthways and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Moisten with olive oil and season to taste. Bake for 30 minutes or until tender. Turn onto a serving platter and spoon over the vinaigrette. Add the chorizo (if using) and a sprinkling of parsley. Serve warm.

Cook's note: The zesty dressing adds a bit of zing to balance the sweetness of the potatoes. I love this salad with chargrilled lamb or classic roast chicken.
