By Émilie and Antoine of Un Océan de Saveurs, a company based in Québec’s Gaspé Peninsula specializing in harvesting and processing edible seaweeds

Ingredients

4 à 6 potatoes
15 à 30 ml (1 to 2 Tbsp) olive oil
15 à 30 ml (1 to 2 Tbsp) sea lettuce flakes

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the potatoes and cut into 8 pieces lengthwise.
Brush with a little olive oil.
Sprinkle with sea lettuce flakes.
Bake in oven until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

Serve with meat and fish for “surf and turf,” or with a shrimp roll with dulse flakes.

The sea lettuce flakes from Un Océan de Saveurs that are used in this recipe have a plant-like flavour resembling sorrel and spinach with aromatic briny notes.
