Notes
Oil: If you're NOT using a non-stick baking tray (or if you're not using reusable baking paper) you may need an additional tablespoon of oil
Herbs: I like to use fresh herbs for this recipe as they give SO much flavour, but if you only have dried then you can use this instead. Each tablespoon of fresh is the equivalent of 3g in weight - use a TEASPOON of each instead of a tablespoon of fresh
Freezing: These potatoes freeze well, both before they're cooked or after. Great for preparing in advance!
Potatoes: Go for the kind that when roasted are soft and fluffy on the inside but crispy on the outside, like floury Maris Piper, King Edward or Rooster. Salad or boiling potatoes won’t work well because they tend to dry out
How to cut potatoes into cubes: After you have peeled the potato, slice the potatoes lengthways, about 2cm apart. Then slice each piece lengthways and widthways again to make cubes
