Ingredients
SERVES : 6.
- 18 medium potatoes (oval shaped) or 36 new potatoes
- 45 grams butter
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- salt
Method
- If you’re using the larger potatoes, preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C Fan/gas mark 7/425ºF; for roasting new potatoes, preheat to 200°C/180°C Fan/gas mark 6/400ºF
- Put each potato, in turn, in the bowl of a wooden spoon, like you would carry an egg in an egg-and-spoon race, and cut across at about 3mm / one-eighth of an inch intervals
- When you’ve cut them all, put the baking tin on the hob with the butter and oil and heat up till sizzling
- Turn the potatoes well, putting them in upside down (ie, cut side down) first, then the right side up, and spoon the fat over them
- Sprinkle each potato well with salt and put in the oven: cook the large potatoes for about an hour and 10 minutes, testing to see whether the flesh is soft (you may need another 10 minutes for this); 40 minutes should be fine :For the new potatoes
- Transfer to a warmed plate, and serve
