1. 1 Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the potatoes into a pan of salted water, bring to the boil and simmer for 2 mins exactly. Drain well and toss in a little of the oil to coat.
2. Stir the flour, Parmesan, herbs and nutmeg together in a dish with a small pinch of salt and toss the potatoes in the mix until evenly coated. Heat a good layer of oil in a shallow, non-stick roasting tray on a hob or in the oven, then carefully add the potatoes to the tray. Turn the potatoes to coat them in the oil and roast for 40 mins, turning once. If they feel like they are sticking to the pan, don't move them, just leave them for the full time. Roast until golden brown and crisp, and serve straight away.

Why not try...

HERBED ROSTI: For a change make a large potato rösti and cut it into wedges to serve. Boil 750g unpeeled potatoes in their skins for 15 mins, then drain and leave until cool enough to handle. Peel and coarsely grate potatoes, then mix with some chopped fresh rosemary, thyme and 100g soft butter. Season well, flatten the mix into a cake, then gently fry in a non-stick pan for about 20 mins, turning the mix and reshaping into a cake until crisp on both sides. Serve cut into wedges.

  Well, what can I say??? My husband HATES parmesan cheese FULL STOP. After coating the potatoes, I found that I had loads of coating left so I tossed them in the hot oil, and coated them again!!! I added a clove of garlic to the flour mixture and a handful of rosemary from the spice rack. (guessed the flour, as there were 7 of us for dinner). They were FABULOUS, and my husband loved them!, as did everyone else. They looked exactly like the picture. Very easy to make, will deffo be a regular on my menu.

  Yumm. These were really good and easy to make. I didn't have the type of potatoes that were listed here, but russet potatoes worked well. I think it's really important to make bite-sized pieces which I didn't do the first time. A great recipe, and goes with so much!

  Lovely, tasty potatoes!!! Deloicious. My fussy boyfriend wasn't keen at first, not to sure about the parmesan but he absolutely loved them and thought they were so much tastier than 'normal' roast potatoes. They were simple and easy to make and I will certainly be adding them to my dinner party basics!! I made bite sized pieces and added garlic as suggested. I also halved the recipe for two of us and they worked out great!!
