Floral woody rosemary scented crunchy compressed potatoes, slow-baked and pressed in olive oil; Potato Pave.
Devour something soft and crunchy. And, inhale.
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.
