Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 2 cold boiled potatoes

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Cut I carrot and i turnip into slices, and cook them in boiling soup.
  2. When cold, mix them with 2 cold boiled potatoes and i beet cut into strips.
  3. Add a very little chopped leeks or onions, pour some sauce, *'Lombardo, ** over the salad, and garnish with watercress.
  4. Boiled Jerusalem artichokes cut into slices are a good addition.
