Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

1 red onion, finely sliced

1 medium bunch of parsley, leaves only, roughly chopped
60ml/21/2fl oz extra-virgin olive oil
The juice of half a lemon
50g/2oz grated Parmesan cheese
1kg/2lb of mid-season potatoes – the rosevale variety is one of my favourites

Rinse the potatoes and place in a large pan. Cover with cold water and a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, turn down slightly and simmer until tender and the potatoes are slightly falling apart. This should take about 25 minutes.

Drain and, while the potatoes are still warm, season with the oil, Parmesan, salt and pepper – if you season vegetables while they are warm, the flavour penetrates right to the core of the vegetable. When it is back to room temperature, toss in the onions and parsley, and serve.
