Devour something soft and crunchy. And, inhale
Floral woody rosemary scented crunchy compressed potatoes, slow-baked and pressed in olive oil; Potato Pave.
This dish will topple any belief that you can’t make vegan food without some simple ingredients you probably already have at home.
Make this:
- When you’ve an elegant dinner party organised and an appetising dish on the side will have your guests uplifted
- When you’ve just had a win at work and a little something special will have your feet lifted off the ground
- When you’re fed up with just chips or boiled potatoes and need a crunchy potato that’ll have you up elevated
Potato Pave was inspired when cooking up dinner for guests while at a country manor in Northumbria – and dishing up potatoes in an unique way.
Pave is derived from the French word “cobblestone” and used to describe rectangular/square layered food.
Potato Pave is vegan and gluten-free.
Love.
