• Peel the garlic, strip the rosemary leaves from the woody stalk and finely chop.
• Add the rosemary and garlic to the potatoes. Gently fold through. Add another drizzle of olive oil if the potatoes look dry. Then return to the oven for another 15 minutes to finish cooking and crisp up.
• Once crispy and golden, your parmentier potatoes are ready to enjoy, straight from the oven.

PARMENTIER POTATOES

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan of cold water and season with a large pinch of salt. Bring to the boil over a high heat, then immediately drain and leave to steam-dry for a few minutes in a colander.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the potatoes onto a large baking tray along with the garlic cloves, rosemary and oil. Season well, then mix everything thoroughly so each potato cube is coated in the oil. Shake the tray gently to spread the potatoes out into a rough single layer. Roast for 30-35 mins, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crisp on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. Serve with roast lamb, fish or as an alternative to chips or roast potatoes.

EASY PARMENTIER POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes. Try to make them all roughly the same size, but it's not necessary to get a ruler out and measure them...like my husband did the other day!
• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 4 minutes (set the timer from when they went into the boiling water). Drain into a colander and allow them to steam dry but DO NOT SHAKE them.
• Whilst the potato cubes are steam drying, preheat the oven to 200c (180 fan/ Gas 6). Pour the olive oil into a roasting tin and place it in the oven to heat up.
• After 5 minutes, remove the roasting tin from the oven and tip the dried potato cubes in. Carefully use a spoon to turn the potatoes in the oil, making sure they are coated. Do this gently to prevent the potatoes from breaking up. Season and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
• Peel and chop the garlic and finely chop the rosemary and thyme leaves. Add these to the potatoes after 20 minutes (give the potato, garlic and herbs a gentle mix at this point). Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. If you prefer a darker more crispy potato you might want to leave them in for an extra 5 minutes.
