The Method

1
Boil the Jersey Royal potatoes in salted water until tender but still firm, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
2
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the lime marinade. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, diced red onion, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and minced jalapeño pepper. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Once the potatoes are slightly cooled, melt Jersey butter in the same pan they were boiled in. Toss the potatoes through the melted butter and Jersey milk, and lightly mash them until they are part smashed and part chunky.
4
To assemble the ceviche, arrange the shucked Jersey oysters on a serving platter.
5
Spoon the lime marinade evenly over the oysters, ensuring they are well coated.
6
Spoon the warm potato mixture alongside each oyster.
7
Garnish with fresh coriander, chives and thinly sliced radishes. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño pepper completely.

The oysters should be incredibly fresh. Source them from a reputable local fishmonger.

Marinating the oysters for too long can make them tough. A short marinade is key.

If you don't have jalapeños, a small amount of finely diced chili pepper will work well.

For an extra creamy potato element, add a spoonful of Jersey cream to the potatoes after they've been boiled and drained, then mash with butter and milk.
