For the potato salad

Preheat the oven to 160C. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12 minutes or until just cooked (check by piercing with a knife to see if it feels soft all the way through). While the potatoes are boiling this is a great chance to get the chopping done, we want everything nice and fine so that it coats the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the water and strain.

Place the red onion, chilli, mint, parsley, lemon zest, half of the lemon juice, and the olive oil in a large salad bowl. Add the warm potatoes to the bowl and toss well. Season with salt and pepper.

For the haloumi

Heat some olive oil in a pan over high heat. Place the haloumi in the pan, it will look very watery to begin with but don’t be concerned, continue to cook the haloumi for 2-3 minutes per side or until they turn golden brown.

To serve

Divide the warm potato salad between plates and serve your haloumi on the side with a good squeeze of lemon juice.
