This Thermomix Mixed Potato Salad with Red Chilli, Coriander and Feta is based on a Jamie Oliver recipe from his 30 minute book, that recipe uses the microwave and suffice to say that, since I have the Thermomix, the microwave only warms milk and reheats food, along with the endless coffees that I leave to go cold.

📖 Recipe
Sweet Potato, Potato, Chilli and Coriander Salad
Equipment
- 1 Thermomix
- Parchment/baking paper
Ingredients
- 1 litre water cold tap
- 2 large sweet potatoes washed, with any tough bits removed but with the rest of the skin on, halved lengthways, then sliced in big chunks
- 2 medium sized potatoes halved
- ½ lemon
- 1 red chilli seeds in
- Big bunch of fresh coriander
- 50 g feta cheese
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Line the bottom of the Varoma with baking paper by wetting it under a cold tap, scrunching it up and then spreading it over the bottom of the Varoma (no need to use the Varoma tray, middle insert, for this recipe).
- Add one litre of water to the Thermomix bowl, place the potatoes in the lined Varoma together with the half lemon and cover with the lid (no need to use the tray): 30 minutes, Varoma, speed 2.5 (two and a half). Check that they are done and place them in a large salad bowl. Squeeze the lemon over them and discard it, also make sure any of the lovely citric juices left in the parchment paper are tipped into the salad bowl with the spuds.1 litre water, 2 large sweet potatoes, 2 medium sized potatoes, ½ lemon
- Dry Thermomix bowl, add chilli and coriander: 4 seconds, speed 5.1 red chilli, Big bunch of fresh coriander
- Add the 50 g feta: 2 seconds, speed 5 (keep going if you would like it all chopped quite small). You could, of course, make this mix as step one and reserve (I just didn't want an extra bowl to wash).50 g feta cheese
- Add the potatoes, lemon juices, extra virgin olive oil to the bowl: 5 seconds, reverse, speed 4 (being careful not to turn it to mush!). If you're worried they will turn to mush, just drizzle the potatoes with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and add the chopped coriander, chilli and feta directly from the TM bowl and mix well. Either option is very easy as you can see.Extra virgin olive oil

Do I have to use Coriander?
A lot of people don't like coriander, and that's okay. If you don't like coriander, just leave it out or use your favourite herbs, like fresh parsley.
You might also love a drizzle of freshly squeezed lime or lemon juice.
What to serve it with
Making this recipe in the Thermomix allows me to make something in the bowl, where in fact during a heatwave I could have a Vichyssoise (cold leek soup) for the next day while the potatoes steam in the Varoma.
Another great recipe for hot weather is Gazpacho which you could quickly prepare before starting on this potato salad.
That would be two cold soups and one potato salad in the fridge for when you need food but don't fancy cooking (or for packed lunches).
Get the air fryer to make you some Air Fryer Roasted Vegetables or some Airfryer Roasted Mediterranean Vegetables with Halloumi Cheese for cold salads too!
Oh and Air Fryer Baked Egg Pots too!
Or, of course, Thermomix Spanish Potato Omelette (Tortilla de Patatas).
Then make Thermomix Chocolate Banana Ice Cream and you're sorted.
That's a lovely menu right there!
Do I have to use both sweet potatoes and normal potatoes?
No, in fact often nowadays I make it just with the sweet potatoes and find it nicer!
How to eat
This salad is really nice warm straight away or cold after having a nice stay in the fridge.
We had it with thin turkey breast fillets fried in very little olive oil in the griddle pan, just seasoned with a few twists of the black pepper mill and a tiny bit of salt.
