Sauteed rosemary potatoes with cherry tomatoes and black olives

A beautiful side dish for a relaxing braai. Perfect with fish or lamb

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1kg warm milk
waxy potatoes or good all-rounders
olive oil
2–3T (30–45ml) chopped fresh rosemary
4 large peeled cloves garlic
salt
peperoncino or black pepper
12 cherry tomatoes
12 black olives
fresh chopped parsley

Method

Peel the potatoes and cut into small chunks. Parboil for 10 minutes, then drain and blot well to absorb excess moisture. Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan. Add the half-cooked potatoes, rosemary, garlic, a little salt and a lot of peperoncino or black pepper – as much as you can take. Toss the potatoes in the oil so they are well coated, then leave them to brown over a medium heat, flipping occasionally. Keep checking to be sure they aren’t burning or sticking. After 10 to 15 minutes,when the potatoes are almost golden and crispy-crunchy, throw in the tomatoes and olives and mix gently. Cook for a few more minutes until the tomatoes start to go limp and the skins look a little charred. Sprinkle with parsley and serve, removing the garlic if preferred.
