Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and add the new potatoes to the pan.
- Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until they are just tender.
- Drain the well and leave in the colander over the hot pan to steam dry.
- In the meantime, pre-heat your oven to 190C/375F/ gas mark 5.
- Drizzle 1 tbsp oil on to your baking tray or roasting tin.
- Add the potatoes to the tray and then squash them with a fork - they should still hold together but have lots of new edges and ridges.
- Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 40 mins until golden and crispy.
- Serve with a sprinkling of freshly chopped chives.
