British Breakfast Tray Bake With Cornish New Potatoes Food

CRISPY NEW POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Boil the potatoes until the softer side of cooked, about 12 mins. Drain, slice in half, then tip into a bowl. Tip the capers, olives and herbs on top of the potatoes, then add most of the oil and a little seasoning. Stir together, lightly crushing the potatoes.
• Line a medium Swiss roll-type tin with baking parchment, leaving some hanging over the sides. Tip the potatoes into the tin and flatten down. Mix the vinegar and remaining oil, drizzle over the potatoes, then bake for 40 mins until golden.

SMASHED ROASTED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 15 mins, or until cooked through but not falling apart. Drain well. Drizzle 1½ tbsp oil into a shallow roasting tin or baking tray (about 30 x 20cm - a Swiss roll tin works well). Tip the potatoes into the tin and toss in the oil. Squash the potatoes down using a potato masher or fork - the smashed potatoes should fill the tray and be joined at the edges like jigsaw pieces. Will keep chilled for up to a day.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/ gas 5. Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining oil and season with sea salt. Bake for 40 mins until deeply golden and crunchy.

CURRIED CHICKEN & NEW POTATO TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Put the drumsticks in a large bowl with 1 tbsp oil, the garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric and 2 tbsp yogurt. Toss together with your hands until coated. Leave to marinate for at least 30 mins (can be left in the fridge overnight). Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Put the potatoes in a large roasting tin with the remaining oil and plenty of seasoning. Add the chicken drumsticks and bake for 40-45 mins until cooked and golden.
• Scatter the tomatoes, onion, coriander and some seasoning over the chicken and potatoes, with the remaining yogurt served on the side.

TRAY-BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Liberally butter the oven tray. Slice the potatoes using the fine blade of a food processor or a sharp knife, separating slices that have stuck together.
• Pour the boiling water into a large pan and whisk in the bouillon powder. Tip in the potatoes, cover, bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes.
• Using a fish slice, transfer the potatoes to the oven tray, letting a little of the stock come along with each batch. Spread the potatoes out evenly in the oven tray. Don't attempt to overlap layers in a neat fashion, as you would for a gratin - this is a casual, baker's-style dish. Discard the remaining stock, or use it as a soup base.
• Season the potatoes, then slide the tray into the oven for the last 30 minutes of the pork cooking time (or cook separately for 30 minutes in a preheated 170C/Gas 4/fan oven). After 30 minutes, increase the heat to 220C/Gas 7/ fan oven 200C, and cook for 25-35 minutes longer.
• Score the potatoes into 8 portions and serve straight from the tray, lifting them out with a fish slice. They won't look neat but will taste divine.
