750g new potatoes
1 red chilli
1 small cube of butter (or vegetable oil 1 Tbsp)

Scrub the potatoes with the rough side of a kitchen sponge, then rinse well.
Bring the potatoes to the boil in a pan of lightly salted, cold water, then simmer for 15 minutes until tender.
Remove the seeds and veins from the chilli, then chop its flesh.
Fry the chilli in the melted butter or olive oil for a minute or so.
Drain the cooked potatoes and drizzle with the chilli butter/oil.
Add the lime zest and juice, then toss well.
