This unique savory potato jelly is a delightful and innovative twist on traditional jellies. Infused with fresh herbs and spices, it's perfect as a side dish or a sophisticated addition to your charcuterie board.

Steps

Peel the potato and chop it into small cubes.
In a pot, boil the potato cubes in vegetable broth until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid. Blend the potatoes with a little bit of the broth until smooth.
In a separate pot, combine the remaining broth with agar-agar powder and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously.
Once boiling, add the blended potato mixture and stir well.
Add chopped parsley, chives, salt, pepper, and lemon juice if using. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into a mold or dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
Once set, slice and serve as a savory jelly dish or alongside meats and cheeses.

Tips for Savory Potato Jelly with Herbs

A smooth, even mixture should set with a clean slice; visible potato lumps can make the jelly crumbly.
Use a shallow mold for neat slices, and allow the full chilling time before unmolding.
Serve chilled or cool alongside firm cheeses and sliced meats; a little lemon can brighten the savory flavor.

Drink pairing

A dry sparkling wine
Its crisp acidity and bubbles complement the savory herbs and make a refreshing contrast to the potato's soft, mellow flavor.
