20g parsley
20g coriander
10g mint
10g chervil
½ silver onion
1 small apple
3 garlic cloves
1 red chilli
1dl olive oil
3tbsp apple cider vinegar
1tbsp honey or agave sirup
Method
Preheat the oven to 170°C. Slice the potatoes in half and give them a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Drizzle olive oil all over them and bake them in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are soft and have gotten a nice colour.
Rinse and dry the herbs. Chop them, and the onion, chilli and garlic finely.
Dice the apple and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Finish off with a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper.
Once the potatoes are done, take them out of the oven. Use a fork and give them a gentle mash on the inside.
Place the baked potatoes on a flat serving plate and fill them generously with the apple salsa. Finish by sprinkling some chopped herbs on the top.
