    New potatoes are at their best now. They’re delicious simply boiled and served with some Anglesey sea salt and a little olive oil or butter, but this recipe takes things to the next level.

    • Total time: 40 minutes, plus 1-2 hours soaking

    Serves: 8

    Ingredients

    1kg new potatoes (such as Jersey royal), halved if large
    1 red onion, very finely sliced
    1 tsp honey
    2 lemons, juice
    100g cashews, soaked in cold water for 1-2 hours
    1 small garlic clove, crushed
    2 tbsp olive oil
    small handful dill, leaves picked
    small handful flat leaf parsley, leaves picked 

    Method

    1. Put the potatoes into a deep pan, cover with cold water and add a pinch of sea salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10-15 minutes, depending on their size, until tender. Meanwhile, put the onion in a small bowl with the honey, juice of 1 lemon and a pinch of salt.

    2. Drain the cashews and put in a blender with the garlic, juice of the remaining lemon and 100ml cold water. Season and blitz until smooth; this will take a few minutes. Add a little more water if needed;  it should be the consistency of a thin mayonnaise.

    3. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain and leave them to steam-dry for 2-3 minutes. Scatter onto a platter, breaking them up as you go. Season and drizzle over the  oil. Top with the onion and aioli, then toss well and finish with a scattering of the herbs.
