Ingredients

  • 1½ kg maris piper potatoes, peeled, large ones cut into quarters and small ones halved
  • 4 sprigs rosemary
  • 125ml sunflower or groundnut oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 1 garlic bulb, cut in half horizontally
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7 and place a large roasting tin on the top shelf. Tip the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt and 2 rosemary sprigs. Cover and bring to the boil.

Step 2

Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 5-6 mins, until the edges of the potatoes are soft. Drain into a colander and set aside to steam dry, shaking gently to ruffle the edges. Discard the rosemary.

Step 3

Meanwhile, add the oil to the roasting tin in the oven and heat for 5 mins, until almost smoking. Carefully spoon in the potatoes, making sure they’re well coated in oil. Spread out in a single layer, cut-side down, and sprinkle over the sea salt. Roast for 20 mins.

Step 4

After 20 mins, turn them over, add the garlic, and remaining rosemary, and roast for a further 15 mins, until crisp and golden. Pour over the vinegar – take care as it may spit – and roast for a final 5 mins, until a bit sticky.

Step 5

Remove from the oven; serve with a slotted spoon. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
