Method

Make this deluxe roast Lotato salad with a delicious bacon and nut crumb. Lotatoes are our favourite potatoes with a creamy melt in your mouth taste! This salad is perfect for every season.

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
  2. Lay bacon rashers on a baking tray. Pour nuts and seeds onto the other tray, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with garlic powder. Place the bacon tray on the top rack, with the nuts and seeds tray underneath. Bake for 15-20, turning midway through, until the bacon is crispy and the nuts and seeds are golden. Add cooked ingredients to your blender attachment and pulse for a rough crumb. Set aside.
  3. Turn the oven up to 200°C. Line another two trays with baking paper.
  4. Place prepared lotatoes on the oven trays, drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes, turning mid way through, until golden and crispy on the outside and soft inside.
  5. To serve: Add all salad ingredients to a large bowl or platter. Top with roast lotatoes,sprinkle with bacon and nut topping and dollop on avocado mayo. Delish.
