  1. 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.

  2. 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. Sprinkle over the NOMU rub, cheese, drizzle some oil, and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).

  3. BROWN THE Beef

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the schnitzel dry with paper towel, coat with the oregano, and season. When hot, sear the schnitzel until browned, 20-30 seconds per side. In the final 30 seconds, baste with a knob of butter.

  4. JUST BEFORE SERVING

    In a small bowl, combine the Mayo, ½ the chives, and lemon juice (to taste). Loosen with water in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.

  5. DINNER IS READY

    Dish up the smashed potatoes, side with the Beef, and drizzle over the chivey-mayo. Garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining chives and dig in, Chef!
