Crushed New Potatoes topped with Shredded ham, Spring onion and Sour cream.

This is a perfect dish to eat in front of the television on a cold winter’s night.  If you don’t have spring onions, you could use leeks or even a few chopped pickled onions.

Preparation: 5 minutes
Cooking: 20 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

400g new potatoes, scrubbed
2 cloves garlic, cut in half
2 bay leaves
250g cooked ham, shredded
1 tsp olive oil
6 spring onions, sliced
4 tbsp sour cream

Method

Place the potatoes, halved if necessary, in a pan and cover with boiling water. Add the garlic and bay leaves. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for approximately 20 minutes or until just tender. Once cooked, drain immediately and discard the garlic and bay leaves. Return the potatoes to the pan and lightly crush with the back of a fork.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the ham and spring onion, cook for a few minutes or until the ham and the spring onion are just warmed through. 

Serve the potatoes topped with the ham and spring onions and spoon over the sour cream.
