Instructions

Boil the Potato
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C and put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the potato. Peel the potato, chop into 3cm chunks and add to the pan. Boil for 5 mins, then drain in a colander. TIP: They won't be cooked at this stage, we are just par-boiling them! Meanwhile, pour a glug of oil onto a baking tray and put it on the top shelf of your oven. TIP: This helps your potatoes get super crispy!

Roast the Potato
2

Once drained, give the potato a good shake in the colander to fluff up the edges. TIP: By doing this, you create more surface area for crisping! Gently tip the potato onto your hot baking tray - be careful not to burn yourself! Spread out in an even layer and season with salt. Roast on the top shelf of your oven until crisp and golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Make the Pesto
3

Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley (stalks and all) and walnuts. Put the parsley, walnuts and hard Italian cheese in a bowl and add the olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Season with salt and pepper, mix well and set aside.

Prep the Veggies
4

Halve, peel and chop the red onion into small pieces. Chop the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add the onion. Cook until soft and slightly brown, stirring occasionally, 10 mins. TIP: If the onion is browning too much, just turn the heat down a little.

Cook the Prawns
5

When the onion is cooked, add the tomatoes, garlic and prawns. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 mins, or until the tomatoes are slightly soft and the prawns are cooked. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque all the way through. Once cooked, remove the pan from the heat.

Finish and Serve
6

Divide the mini roast potatoes between plates. Lay a handful of rocket over the potatoes and a generous portion of garlic prawns on top of that. Finish by drizzling over the pesto. Enjoy!
