Great for a party, these bite-sized crispy roast potatoes in pesto from Sacla' for the Real Food Festival should have your guests diving in

Serves 4-6

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5kg King Edward or Maris Piper potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp coriander pesto
  • 150ml fromage frais

Method: How to make coriander pesto roast potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6.

2. Pour the olive oil into a large roasting tin and place it in the oven to heat up.

3. Next, cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks and bring them to the boil in a large pan. Simmer for 7 minutes.

4. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan. With the lid on the pan, shake the potatoes to roughen the edges – this will give them a lovely crispy coating.

5. Next, add the coriander pesto and toss until evenly covered.

6. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot roasting tin and spoon over the pesto sauce. Return the tin of potatoes to the oven for 45-50 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking, until crispy. Serve with the fromage frais for dipping.
