Start with new potatoes or baby potatoes and place them in cold water.

Add fine sea salt to the cold water, heavily salting it.

Bring the salted water to a boil and parboil the potatoes for around 10 to 15 minutes until they are tender but not fully cooked.

Prepare a spice mix with smoked paprika, garlic granules, onion granules, Italian herb seasoning, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper.

Add about 2 and 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil to the spice mix to create a paste.

Once the potatoes are parboiled, drain them and smash them slightly with a fork or your hand.

Coat each smashed potato with the spice paste, ensuring both sides are covered.

Prepare a quick pickle by slicing banana shallots into rings and placing them in a pot.

Add about 150 to 200 ml of white wine vinegar, 2 and a half tablespoons of sugar, whole black peppercorns, and about 150 to 200 ml of water to the pot with the shallots.

Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cool slightly before adding the shallots to the pot.

Let the shallots sit in the pickle until needed, ideally for about half an hour.
