A very impressive looking spud that combines crispy edges with soft mash in the middle. Super easy to make can adorn any dinner party as a side dish.
8 medium-size potatoes
3-4 Tbsp olive oil (or coconut oil)
salt and black pepper
chopped herbs of your choice - preferably fresh: e.g. rosemary, thyme etc.
1. Preheat the oven to 220*C. Line the baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them well.
3. Put 1 potato on a spoon (it helps to keep it in place and cutting) and using a sharp knife cut across every 2-3 mm. Do not cut through - leave about half an inch uncut. Continue with all the potatoes.
4. Roll the potatoes in oil, place on the baking tray and season with salt and black pepper. Place in the oven for 30 mins.
5. In the meantime, chop the herbs and mix with leftover oil. After 30 mins, take the potatoes carefully from the oven and brush the oil-herby mixture over the potatoes. Put back in the oven for another 30 mins.
6. Serve!
