    Yummy. Put plenty of oil on baking tray so they didn't stick and also sprinkled with plenty of black pepper for an extra kick!!

    I make these but I substitute the olive oil for cold pressed rapeseed oil. I'm a recent convert after reading about the health benefits......half the saturated fat of olive oil, 11 x more Omega 3, more vitamin E.......it also has a lovely nutty flavour which works really well with recipes like this. Sometimes, I also dice up the potatoes so they are much smaller in size - about 1-1.5cm all round - it makes them really delicious and sweet!

    I started using this recipe about year ago, now a staple. To reduce cooking time I zap for a couple of minutes in microwave. Also I find they don't stick as much. I add some spices to add flavour.
