02

Place potato slices in a pot of water, bring to 100°C (212°F), and boil for 10 minutes until tender.

Chef's Notes

  • For the best texture, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes, as they hold their shape well when boiled.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes; they should be tender but not falling apart, ensuring they can be cut into chunks without disintegrating.
  • Crisp the prosciutto slightly before adding it to the pan for an added textural contrast and depth of flavor.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning at the very end, as the prosciutto will contribute significant saltiness to the dish.
  • A splash of white wine added to the pan after sautéing the onions and before adding the peas can add another layer of complexity.

Storage

Refrigerator: 3 daysStore in an airtight container.

Reheating: Reheat in a pan over medium heat with a splash of water or stock to maintain moisture.
