Serves 4 – 6
These tasty little roast potatoes are so simple to make on Christmas Day – just a little preparation and then leave them in the oven until you’re ready to serve.
Ingredients
- 900g large new potatoes, skins on
- 1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and freshly milled black pepper
Method
- Begin by measuring the olive oil into a roasting tin, then pop it into the oven at 220C/425F/gas mark 7 to heat through.
- Wash the potatoes but don’t scrape the skins off, then cut them into 1cm cubes. Place them in a clean tea cloth and dry them as thoroughly as you can, then transfer them to a large plate.
- Remove the tin from the oven, place it over direct heat so the oil is very hot, then carefully slide the potatoes straight into the hot oil. Turn them around to get a good coating of oil, sprinkling in the garlic and rosemary as you go.
- Return the tin to the oven and roast for 30-40 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp. Season further with salt and pepper before serving.
- Enjoy your roast potatoes!
