Raupi and Huakaroro potato

This is a great hearty baked dish that I like. I also like the way the sweet potato adds a sweetness to the dish. Also good with rich spicy tomato sauces.

Serves 4 - 6

Ingredients

500grm Raupi Potato
500 grm Huakaroro Potato
250 grm Beaugard sweet potato
Good Handful of rocket leaves
200 grm smoked chicken – shredded
200 ml Chicken stock – good flavoured stock (can be made with chicken bouillon)
Olive oil
50 grm melted butter
Salt and pepper

Method

Scrub well the Raupi and Huakaroro potatoes with a scourer to remove most of the skin and to clean off any excess soil. Slice in medium slices. Peel the sweet potato and slice lengthways.

In a lightly buttered and oiled baking dish place the sliced potatoes and the sweet potato in layers with the rocket and the smoked chicken.

To the chicken stock add a little seasoning and pour over the potatoes.

Bake in a medium hot oven (200c) for about 15 – 20 minutes.

Serve with a crisp green salad with a good aioli. Great served cold also with vinaigrette for a summer lunch or at a picnic at the beach.
