Method

  1. Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Boil the potatoes until the softer side of cooked, about 12 mins. Drain, slice in half, then tip into a bowl. Tip the capers, olives and herbs on top of the potatoes, then add most of the oil and a little seasoning. Stir together, lightly crushing the potatoes.
  2. Line a medium Swiss roll-type tin with baking parchment, leaving some hanging over the sides. Tip the potatoes into the tin and flatten down. Mix the vinegar and remaining oil, drizzle over the potatoes, then bake for 40 mins until golden.

JERSEY ROYALS

One of the great tastes of spring - the firm yellow flesh has a unique flavour and only Jerseys have that flaky skin. The season doesn't last long, and they are part of our rich cooking heritage, so indulge yourself and eat them as often as possible.

    This is just so nice! I've made it a couple of times now and each time every bit has disappeared. And for some reason, it looks so good when it comes out of the oven, I've served it straight from the tin rather than transferring to a serving dish as I would with ordinary roast potatoes.

    absolutely gorgeous, makes a change from normal roasts and husband and kids cleared it all. (other than had to pick out the herbs for 2 year old as it was green!!!) 2nd time made it, made extra and had as a cold potato salad the next day and just as nice.

    This was very good. Served with lamb and salad. The dish looked better than the picture and I was left with an empty bowl. Making again this week - the Jersey Royals are fab.

    Made this last night with Charlotte potatoes (home grown, using all the tiny ones that you have to dig up but usually throw away). It was lovely even though I didn't have any stoned olives to hand so left them out (life's too short to stone olives) but it was still lovely.

    Absolutely delicious, packed full of flavour with the olives and capers, be generous with the vinegar for extra taste and keep in the oven for longer for an extra crisp top. Perfect with roast sausages and salad.

    I failed to follow the instructions properly but I ended up with amazing roast potatoes :D (I didn't put capers in as I don't like them!)

    A lovely change from steamed new potatoes and much tastier than the picture suggests. I couldn't get capers so left them out but the tin of black olives I used made up for them I am sure. Super recipe.

    I served this dish alongside Boursin chicken to visitors to our guest house and they thought it was wonderful! So easy to do and looks and tastes great.

    Really lovely with roast summer vegetables and salad for a vegan meal when a friend came to stay. Cooking it tonight with chicken and salad for meat eating friends. Also, makes a great potato salad the next day or is great in an omelette or with scrambled eggs and smoked salmon so make extra whilst you can.

    These are really tasty and a nice alternative, we usually have wesges with everything! I halved the amount of potatoes and vinigar and only used 2tbsp of oil and still worked out lovly and crispy, might try again with just 1tbsp of oil as I dont usually cook with a lot but still wanted the crispyness - now added to the weeks menu
