The Method

1
Boil the Jersey Royal potatoes: Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
2
Prepare the potato mixture: While the potatoes are still warm, gently crush them with a fork or potato masher. They should retain some texture. In a large bowl, combine the crushed potatoes, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, lemon juice, 25g of Jersey butter, and Jersey milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently until well combined.
3
Toast the bread: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and toasted.
4
Assemble the bruschetta: While the bread is still warm, rub each slice with the remaining 25g of Jersey butter. Spoon the Jersey Royal potato and artichoke mixture onto each slice of toasted bread.
5
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh mint over the bruschetta. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, you can add a small amount of grated Jersey cheese (such as cheddar or a local hard cheese) to the potato and artichoke mixture.

If you prefer a smoother texture, you can mash the potatoes more thoroughly. However, leaving some texture adds to the rustic appeal of the bruschetta.
