Ingredients

1kg / 2.2lbs new potatoes (if you’re using larger potatoes, you can cut them to the size you like)

4-6 cloves of garlic, chopped

50ml olive oil

2 tbsp roughly chopped sage

1 lemon

Salt and pepper

Preparation

  1. Boil the potatoes in plenty of salted water. Pass a knife through it to check for doneness after 7-9 minutes. Longer, if you’re using larger potatoes.
  2. Once boiled, cut the potatoes into half lengthwise and transfer to a big box that will hold all the potatoes and still have additional room. Shake the box vigorously until the potatoes look smashed on the edges.
  3. Toss with garlic, olive oil, sage, juice of lemon, salt and pepper.
  4. Transfer to a roasting pan and layer the potatoes in a single layer.
  5. Roast the potatoes in the oven at 200C/390F for 30-40 minutes until crispy, golden and brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, perhaps with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
