How to make Torn potatoes of many colors with chile-lime butter

1. Pulse the chilli and coriander in a food processor until finely chopped.

2. Add the butter, lime zest, and sea salt, then pulse until smooth.

3. Transfer the mixture to a sheet of parchment paper and roll it into a log approximately 15 cm long. Chill in the fridge until firm, for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.

4. Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C).

5. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on a rimmed baking tray and cover tightly with foil. Roast for 40 minutes.

6. Remove the foil (set it aside for later), turn the potatoes, and continue roasting uncovered until the largest potato is very tender when pierced with a paring knife or fork, about 20–30 minutes.

7. Unwrap the chilli-lime butter and slice it thinly crosswise.

8. Using two forks, tear the potatoes (skins included) into 7.5 cm–10 cm pieces and transfer them to a large, preferably warmed, platter.

9. With your hands, crumble and scatter the butter over the potatoes, ensuring you use all of it.

10. Cover the potatoes with the reserved foil and let them sit until the butter is mostly melted, about 3–4 minutes.

11. Top the potatoes with pomegranate arils, squeeze lime juice over, and sprinkle with sea salt.
