Jersey Royals season has just begun, and here is our friend Michelin Star Chef Steve Smith showing how to best cook the delicious potatoes.  Steve Smith was Head Chef at The Devonshire, Bolton Abbey and is now at the Bohemia Restaurant in Jersey.

• Crushed Jersey Royals, Olive Oil, Chopped Chives, Capers, Chopped Green Olives.
• Boiled Jersey Royals in Herb Butter Emulsion, Chopped Shallots, Chopped Chives.

Known as the ‘Champagne’ of the potato world, they are only available until July, and have a distinct nutty flavour which is due to being grown in a mild climate, as Jersey is one of the sunniest places in the UK!

Steve has created a truly outstanding dining experience as Head Chef of Michelin star Bohemia restaurant in Jersey, with his ingredient and flavour driven tasting menus. Bohemia Restaurant boasts a stellar reputation for its first rate cuisine, and is firmly on the gastronomic map as a food-lover’s destination. Steve Smith was one of the youngest chefs in the country to achieve a Michelin star over 10 years ago, at the age of just 24.
