Method

  1. Put the butter, herbs, garlic and lemon in a food processor and season well. Whizz until combined then put on a sheet of clingfilm and twist into a sausage shape. Wrap in foil and freeze. The butter will keep in the freezer for a few weeks - just cut slices to use when you need them.
  2. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Take 4 lengths of baking parchment. Put a quarter of the potatoes on one sheet of the parchment. Top with a couple of slices of the herb butter. Fold over the parchment and fold in the edges to make a parcel. Repeat for the other three parcels. Put on a baking tray and cook for 30-40 minutes. Serve in the bag.
