Golden Roast Potatoes

 

 

1 to 1 1/2 potatoes per person

olive oil

fresh rosemary -OR- thyme, finely chopped

salt

 

 

1. Preheat oven to 200 C (400 F).

 

2. Peel potatoes and cut each one in half.

 

3. Place cut side down onto chopping board and lay a thick skewer or

chopstick along each side. Using a sharp knife make a series of slices

from top to bottom, close together, almost to the bottom. The skewer

will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through.

 

4. Pat dry and arrange in a roasting pan lined with non-stick baking

paper. Brush well with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and fresh

rosemary or thyme.

 

5. Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 45 minutes or until golden

and tender.
