Oh, these British Gems Baby New Potatoes are so cute! Loaded with tasty guacamole and black bean salsa, they are perfect as a side dish for barbecues or buffets. We love them with veggie sausages or a salad.
I used Sainsbury’s British Gems Baby New Potatoes, Taste the Difference for this recipe. Fresh from field to store in just 48 hours, these baby potatoes are the ‘perline’ variety and are exclusive to Sainsbury’s. British Gems are the perfect potatoes to take over from Jersey Royals during the summer months and are available in Sainsbury’s stores from May until the end of August. They are delicious in roasted, fried or boiled.
British Gems have a thin skin and a slightly sweet buttery texture which balances perfectly with the fresh guacamole and juicy salsa.
It is a very straightforward recipe. All you do is roast the potatoes while you prepare the guacamole and salsa. Once done, you could fill these British Gems Baby New Potatoes as mini jacket potatoes, but I found it easier to crush and flatten them carefully and add the delicious fillings on top. Serve them warm or at room temperature.

Ingredients
- 1 kg Sainsbury's British Gems Baby New Potatoes
- olive oil
FOR THE GUACAMOLE:
- 2 ripe avocados
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove – crushed
- finely diced red chilli – to taste
- 1 generous handful chopped coriander leaves
- salt & pepper
FOR THE SALSA:
- 125 g can black beans
- 1 small tomato
- 1/2 mango
- 1/2 tsp salt
- chopped coriander leaves for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190°C / 170°C fan / gas 5 / 375 °F.
- Spread potatoes on roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast for about 1 hour only tender.
- Half an hour before the potatoes are ready, start preparing the guacamole. Place the avocado flesh in a bowl. Add lime juice. Mash to a chunky paste. Mix in finely diced onion, cumin, finely diced chilli, garlic and chopped coriander. Season to taste. Cover and set aside.
- To make the salsa, rinse and drain the black beans and place them in a bowl. Add tomato and mango cut into small dice. Mix all together with salt. Cover and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, leave them to cool a little. Gently crush each one with a potato masher to make them flat. They still need to hold together so you can add the guacamole and salsa topping so be careful not to crush them too hard.
- Top each potato with a spoon of guacamole, followed by some salsa. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped coriander leaves.
