Ingredients
- 7-8 medium sized Maris-piper potatoes
- 3tbsp olive oil
- sprig of fresh rosemary
- sprig of fresh thyme
-
salt and pepper to taste
We used Maris-piper potatoes in this recipe, but any floury potatoes that you would use for roasting would work well. Using fresh herbs would be best, however you can also use dried herbs instead.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
First, preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (390 degrees F). Scrub the potatoes if there is any mud, otherwise place each potato on a wooden spoon, and make slits along the width of each potato, of around 5mm wide. The sides of the wood spoon will stop you cutting all the way through the potato.
Step 2
Place the potatoes into an oven dish, then pour over the olive oil. Toss the potatoes to ensure the olive oil covers all sides of the potatoes.
Step 3
Place the sprigs of thyme and rosemary into the oven dish, add salt and pepper to taste, then roast for an hour.
Step 4
After an hour, the potatoes should be golden and are ready to serve. Enjoy!
