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.

  Took much longer to cook than recipe said, they were in oven for an hour but still had to be finished off in the bamboo steamer. Tasted nice in the end though

  Absolutley delicious, bang on the time and tasted and looked like small jacket potatoes. The bag looked great too, very rustic!

  I loved this recipe - the herb butter is so tasty and can be frozen successfully.
