Ingredients

  • 1 kg new potatoes
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic granules
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp mixed herbs

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 220 C/430F/Gas Mark 7
  • Bring to the boil water in a medium sized saucepan and tip in your potatoes to parboil until tender. This takes generally 7-10 minutes but totally depends on the size of your potatoes. Test them with a fork after 5 minutes and remove from the heat when they start to become tender.
  • Drain from the water.
  • Place on your baking tray and pour over the 2 tbsp oil, tsp of garlic granules, half a tsp of salt and mixed herbs.
  • Roll and smoosh the potatoes around to get an even coating of all that gorgeousness.
  • Roast for 10-15 minutes until soft and fluffy inside. I use a fork to test.
  • Sprinkle with some extra salt if that's the way you like to roll, extra salty baby. Virtual hand going up...

Notes

To cook these potatoes totally in the oven without parboiling just roast for approx 40 mins, it's a bit dependent on how big the potatoes are. Check with a fork to make sure they are tender.
Season carefully, the right amount of salt here lifts these to truly delicious heights!
Check with a fork to see if these potatoes are soft before you roast them. That way they cook quickly and crisply in the oven.
Change the flavours here to easily suit your dish.
Make sure all the potatoes are roughly the same size so as to cook at the same rate.
Make ahead to just before you put them in the oven to roast to get ahead and set aside until you are ready for them.
