Noisette Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 16large potatoes peeled and washed
  • cooking oil
  • knob of butter

Method

  1. Set your oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Shape the peeled potatoes into balls, ensuring you rinse them thoroughly after cutting. Pat the potato balls completely dry using a clean tea towel before you begin cooking.
  2. Place 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large frying pan. Cook 2-3 handfuls of the potato balls until they achieve a golden brown colour, then move them to a roasting tray. Continue this process with the remaining potatoes. Finally, roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender.
  3. Take the roasting tray from the oven once the potatoes are done. Add a knob of butter and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat. Your noisette potatoes are now prepared for serving.
