Taking inspiration from his local potato farmers, Norman and Robyn, Justin North uses their baby potatoes, as small as the size of your fingernail to create this exciting dish. Crack the clay at the table to reveal your potato surprise.Wine match Centennial Vineyards Blanc de Blancs NV, Southern Highlands, NSW
What a cool-looking dish. Of course, it could form part of a main meal, presented and opened at the table, but I reckon it would make even more visual and tactile impact at the aperitif stage of the night, and the potatoes are small enough not to ruin the appetite. In that case, a sparkling pinot noir chardonnay blend will suit well; the salty potatoes will love the crisp clean lines of some top bubbly. Let’s stay local to the Highlands and go for the intense and citrus-packed Centennial Vineyards Blanc de Blancs.
