PARBOIL
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until easily pierced with a fork but still firm, 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
SMASHED POTATOES
Spread the parboiled potatoes on a lightly greased roasting tray. Using a fork, gently press down, splitting the skin, but keeping them in one piece. Drizzle over some oil, sprinkle over the spice mix, cheese, and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
Pork NECK
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the Pork dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the pork until browned, 4-6 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
SALAD
In a bowl, combine the green leaves, baby tomatoes, bocconcini, mustard dressing, and season.
DINNER IS READY
Dish up the smashed potatoes, side with the steak, and salad. Garnish with a sprinkle of the parsley and dig in, Chef!
