• Submerge potatoes in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil; season with salt. Cook 5 minutes. Drain. Score lines lengthwise in potatoes with the tines of a fork.
• Preheat oven to 450°. Transfer roast, fat-side up, to a roasting pan; let come to room temperature, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Roast 15 minutes. Add potatoes; roast 15 minutes more. Reduce temperature to 350° and continue roasting, turning potatoes after 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat (not touching bone) registers 115° for rare, about 1 hour. Let stand 20 minutes (temperature should rise to 125°), then slice. Garnish with bay leaves and sage; serve.

CRISPY BAY ROASTED SMASHED POTATOES WITH GREEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 220C (convention)/200C (fan-forced/convection).
• Wash the potatoes. Bring a pot of water to boil and add the potatoes to the boiling water. Cook at medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain the boiling water and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Place each potato on a chopping board. Using a flat spatula or metal skimmer or slotted turner, gently smash/flatten the potato until it cracks and spreads but is still held together.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large shallow oven-proof frying/sauté pan on medium (I use a cast iron skillet). Crush the bay leaves between your fingers to release the oils. Add the bay leaves to the hot pan and sauté for a few seconds.
• Gently place smashed potatoes in the pan. Drizzle them with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the pre-heated oven for approximately 30 minutes until they are golden and crispy. Remove from oven.
• To prepare the sauce, place all ingredients for the sauce in the bowl of a small food processor and process until smooth.
• Drizzle over the roasted potatoes. Garnish with fresh dill. Enjoy hot.

• Sprinkle salt and pepper inside the potatos and tuck in the bay leaves, 2 per potato.
• Put the potatoes in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil, smearing some on the insides as well as making sure the outsides are well coated.
• Push the potato halves back together; sprinkle their outsides with salt and pepper.
• Bake for about 1 hour; the potatoes are done when you can easily poke a thin-bladed knife right through them; serve immediately.

ROASTED BABY RED POTATOES WITH LEMON AND BAY LEAVES

• Remove the foil. Toss the potatoes again. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the potatoes are golden brown, tossing once, for 20-25 more minutes. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH BAY LEAVES

ROAST POTATOES, ONIONS, FENNEL AND BAY LEAVES RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Lightly oil a 9-by-12-inch baking dish. Pour 3 tablespoons of the olive oil into one corner of the dish. Season this puddle with 1 teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper (you'll use it to dip the potatoes).
• Halve the potatoes. Dip each half into the seasoned olive oil, then put the halves back together with one bay leaf sandwiched between, leaving the prepared potatoes in the dish.
• Cut the onions into 8 lengthwise wedges. Separate the layers of the fennel bulb and cut the pieces into 1-inch strips.
• Arrange the vegetables in the dish, alternating seasoned potatoes with onion and fennel pieces. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon pepper. Top with the sprigs of fennel, and cover lightly with foil.
• Place the dish on the middle rack of the hot oven and reduce the heat to 450 degrees. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes, until the potatoes are almost tender. Remove the foil and continue to roast an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove the dish from the oven and turn the potatoes, onions and fennel so the other sides caramelize. Return to the oven and roast another 10 to 15 minutes, until the bay leaves are charred and brittle, the onions brown and molten, and the fennel pieces papery and crunchy or molten. Serve immediately.

ACCORDION POTATOES

• 1. Drizzle the potatoes with 5 tbsp. olive oil

LEMON, GARLIC & BAY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and halve or quarter the potatoes, if large, so they're all the same size. Put in a large pan and cover with cold water and a pinch of salt. Add one half of the garlic bulb. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins until a knife goes easily through the potatoes, then drain well, reserving the garlic. Leave the potatoes to steam-dry in the pan for 10 mins. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
• Pour the oil into a large baking tray or two smaller ones - it should cover the base of the tray, so add a little more if you need to. Heat in the oven for 10 mins until really hot. Carefully transfer the spuds to the oil, leaving lots of room between each one (otherwise they will steam, rather than roast) and coat in the oil, taking care not to splash yourself. Season, then add both halves of the garlic, blanched and not, and nestle the bay leaves underneath the spuds.
• Roast for 40-45 mins, turning halfway through and coating in more oil, until golden and crunchy. Season with more salt and pepper, and zest the lemon directly over the potatoes so the essential oils spritz over the spuds. Serve with the roasted garlic in its shell.

ROASTED MONKFISH WITH POTATOES, OLIVES AND BAY LEAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (a mandoline is great for this).
• Cover the bottom of a 9x12-inch baking dish with half the olive oil, and top with the potatoes in a single layer (they can overlap a little).
• Season with salt and pepper and top with the bay leaves and remaining oil.
• Roast for ten minutes, turn the pan back to front, and roast ten minutes more (by now the potatoes should be browning--if not, give them another minute or two).
• Top the potatoes with the olives and lay the fish on top, sprinkling it with salt and pepper.
• Roast the dish for an additional ten minutes or until the fish is tender but not overcooked.
• Serve immediately.
