Roast Potatoes with Rosemary

Roast potatoes with rosemary make a nice partner to lamb. These potatoes are cooked in the oven with the lamb but if you prefer to cook them with something like chicken then you can roast them at 200c and reduce the cooking time by 5-10 minutes.

Ingredients

2 sprigs of rosemary (approx 8cm long), leaves removed.
4 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp sunflower oil
900g (2lbs) new potatoes, halved if large
 

Method:

Chop or crush 3/4 of the rosemary leaves and mix with the oils in a large bowl. If possible, leave to infuse for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 190c/375F/Gas 5/170 Fan. Toss the potatoes in the oil then transfer to a roasting pan that will hold them in one single layer. Drizzle over any oil left in the bowl.

Roast the potatoes for 45 minutes, turning over halfway through. Meanwhile finely chop the remaining rosemary leaves.

When the potatoes are browned and tender remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and sit on a clean baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and the rosemary before serving.
