These Swedish-style sliced potatoes don’t just look good and cook quickly, they also soak up all the delicious garlic and fennel flavours and develop gorgeous gold, crispy skins in the oven. We’ve served ours with a creamy dip which we made simply by mixing 100g crème fraîche with 1tbsp each of finely chopped parsley and coriander leavesTime and servings
