It’s January. It’s GREY. There is rain pelting against my office window, I have post holiday blues and you know what I’m day dreaming about my friends? Carbs. All the carbs.

What is it about miserable days that just makes us want to eat potatoes? I love them in every incarnation, especially on a chilly day. Perhaps it’s some prehistoric evolutionary need to consume fuel to keep us warm. Or perhaps it’s just the comforting texture of a fluffy potato. Or perhaps it’s because here I’ve smothered them in garlic and Parmesan? Oh yes I went there.

New potatoes are something a bit special. Only available for a brief window of time, they have a delicious waxy, creamy texture. I absolutely adore them.

Tips for making the Garlic Parmesan Crushed Potatoes Recipe:

  • No need to peel the potatoes, just give them a wash in cold water.
  • Make sure that the oven is pre-heated to get the really crispy edges.
  • This makes a perfect accompaniment to any grilled or oven baked meats or fish.
  • You could add bacon, pancetta or chorizo to the tray when baking the potatoes to make this a meal in itself. Just add some salad.
  • If you don’t have a special parmesan grater, please CHANGE YOUR LIFE! This is my favourite and it’s just so brilliant for zesting lemons and grating Parmesan cheese without grating your fingers (on Amazon): Microplane Fine Grater Zester
