GARLIC AND HERB ROASTED BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
• Toss potatoes, oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tender, 30 to 35 minutes.

ROASTED BABY POTATOES WITH ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

• Place potatoes on center rack of oven and roast 20 minutes, until just tender.

LEMON AND HERB ROASTED CHICKEN WITH BABY POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Rinse the chicken with cool water, inside and out, then pat it dry with paper towels. Season the cavity with salt and pepper, and then stuff the lemon, garlic, and herbs inside. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in a roasting pan. Tie the legs of the chicken together with kitchen twine to help hold its shape. Toss the potatoes around the chicken. Season the whole thing with a fair amount of salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Roast the chicken and potatoes for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Don't forget to baste the chicken with the drippings and rotate the pan every 20 minutes or so to insure a golden crispy skin. The chicken is done when an instant-read thermometer says 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh (the legs of the chicken should wiggle easily from the sockets too.) Remove the chicken to a platter and let stand for 10 minutes, so the juices settle back into the meat before carving. Serve with the roasted potatoes on the side.

HERBED POTATOES AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 pound mixed baby potatoes in a medium pot; cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil; cook until tender, 15 minutes. Combine 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a large bowl. Add 1 chopped large heirloom tomato and 1 tablespoon each chopped parsley, chives and basil. Drain the potatoes; add to the bowl and toss. Season with salt and pepper.

HERB ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, as long as they are all about the same size.
• Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the garlic, sage, and crushed red pepper. Generously sprinkle with kosher salt and olive oil. (The potatoes will absorb a lot of oil and salt; they will taste bland if we don't go big here.)
• Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a sheet tray and roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Check the potatoes halfway through the cooking process to rearrange so the potatoes will have even cooking time and get evenly browned. The potatoes should be nice and brown and really well flavored. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
• Hot potato!

HERB-ROASTED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss together the potatoes, oil, and thyme, and sprinkle with salt. Dump the potatoes out on a baking sheet and roast until tender and crisp on the edges, 30 to 40 minutes.

HERBED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook! Toss with the herbs, and serve hot.

BABY POTATOES IN SEA SALT WITH HERB SALSA

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a frying pan wide and deep enough so that they sit in an even layer (don't cut the baby potatoes in half, otherwise they will absorb the salt and be too salty to eat). Pour over just enough water to cover (about 300ml) and add the salt.
• Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 40 mins until the potatoes have cooked. When the water begins to evaporate, give the pan a shake to coat the potatoes in the salt. Once the water has gone completely and the potatoes are covered in a light salty crust, they are ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, make the herb salsa. Chop the herbs finely, tip into a bowl and mix in the vinegar, oil and garlic. Taste and season as required. Serve the potatoes with a little salsa drizzled over and the rest served separately for dipping.

HERB ROASTED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Rinse and dry the unpeeled new potatoes. Put 2-3 tbsp duck fat or olive oil in a roasting tin and put in oven for 10 mins to melt. Strip leaves from rosemary, oregano and sage and stir into tin with seasoning.
• Add potatoes and toss well. Roast for 40-50 mins, shaking tin a couple of times, until potatoes are crisp and tender. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

CRISPY SQUASHED BABY ROASTIES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 10 mins until tender, then drain and leave to steamdry. While the pork is resting (see left), lower the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Drizzle half the oil over a flat, sturdy baking tray and tip in the potatoes. Add the fennel seeds, and season with the flaky sea salt and some black pepper, tossing everything to coat. Gently squash the potatoes with a potato masher to just break the skins. Drizzle with the extra oil and bake for 45 mins until crispy and golden.
