Method

  • step 1

    To make the herby salt, put all the ingredients in a small food processor (or use a pestle and mortar) and grind to a fine salt.

  • step 2

    Tip the potatoes into a large roasting tin and toss with the oil, polenta, 2 tbsp of the herby salt and some black pepper. Any leftover salt will keep for up to 5 days in a small sealed container.

  • step 3

    Bake underneath a joint of meat, if cooking, at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 30 mins. When the meat comes out, turn up the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook on the top shelf for another 45 mins, shaking the tin halfway through the cooking time.

I love this idea but what are the timings and temps if you are not cooking under a joint of meat?

Anna_Glover

Same cooking times and temperatures if you're cooking these separately, thanks for your question! Thanks, Anna - Good Food team.

Hi, Can I check are these potatoes peeled first or cubed with skins on?

Thanks for your question - yes, they are peeled and then cut into chunks. We have amended the recipe to include this.

Absolutely love this recipe. Daughter came home from school saying how much she loves these potatoes. It was a nightmare finding the cornmeal/polenta (found that Holland&Barrett sell it). I made them and not only did my daughter say that they were better than schools, the picky other half loved…

I only used one tablespoon of course salt and found this far too salty. Next time I will only use one teaspoon. The kids hated the potatoes.

Great recipe, lovely way to do potatoes in the oven without the copious amounts of oil needed for doing more traditional roasties.

I could not fine polenta or cornmeal in the smaller supermarkets (perhaps one would have more luck in a hypermarket) but I did find a pot of garlic and rosemary…
