These potatoes are easy alternatives to traditional roasties – and are quicker to make, too. Crushing them slightly in a frying pan gives them a larger surface area and exposes some of the fluffy insides to the oil and heat, meaning they turn extra crispy on the outside. Finish with butter, garlic and thyme for extra flavour. Time and servings
