Instructions

  1. Paying attention to these potatoes is key. So often, potatoes are just treated as an accidental accompaniment - we need to show some love to get the best from them. This is my top tip!
  2. Heat oven to 180ºC/350ºF
  3. With a sharp paring knife deeply pierce each potato. Place all the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle over some olive oil. Toss the potatoes around to cover evenly.
  4. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes before turning the potatoes - then, using a paper towel to protect your hands from the heat, firmly press down on each potato with the palm of your hand to flatten them slightly.
  5. Drizzle over 1 Tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over each potato and season generously with salt & pepper.
  6. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and serve.
  8. Serve alongside a delicious steak, some BBQ chicken or a grilled fish. But let's get real - they're potatoes - they go with everything!
