750g (1 1/2lb) new potatoes

half of the spring
onions and season with plenty of black pepper.

Nutritional
Tips
Potatoes are high in carbohydrates, protein and fibre and
are therefore very
good for you. It is a myth that they are fatting; it is only
when they are cooked
in oil or when cream and butter are added that they become
so.
