Ingredients

As many potatoes as are needed for a hungry horde
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Real butter (for the tastiest tatties, use Guernsey salted butter)

Handy Hint

Regular basting makes the potatoes really coated with the oil/vinegar. Cook more than you think you need as people are bound to ask for extras!

Method

Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees.

Par boil the peeled potatoes in salted boiling water for around 12 minutes, or until slightly softened.

Drain the water and give the potatoes a good shake to make them floury looking in appearance.

Add olive oil, butter, salt and pepper to a roasting tin and put in the oven to heat up until the oil is shimmering. After a few minutes, remove from the oven and add the potatoes, coating them with a generous splash of balsamic vinegar, together with some salt and pepper.

Every 15 - 20 minutes, remove the tin from the oven, and either turn the potatoes or coast them using a ladle with the olive oil/balsamic vinegar mix in the pan

Remove from the oven and serve as part of a Sunday roast.

These potatoes are really yummy - the balsamic vinegar adds a delicious extra taste, and helps keep them really moist inside. Fans of garlic can roast some garlic with the potatoes for even more flavour.
