Description:
This is an incredibly easy way to cook potatoes that are guaranteed to be crispy on the outside and cooked to perfection on the inside.
I saw this recipe on a show hosted by Julie Goodwin, our Australian Master Chef, more of Julies recipes can be found here : http://channelnine.ninemsn.com.au/homecookedwithjuliegoodwin/
Ingredients:
12-16 baby chat potatoes
generous pinch of salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven 200°C/180°C fan forced
Cook potatoes in a saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, but not mushy. Drain. Smash each potato gently, so that the skin splits and the potato is slightly squashed. Place onto a baking tray and drizzle over 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt. Roast in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
(I usually turn these once half way through & if serving with lamb I'll usually throw on a sprig or 2 of rosemary)
