To make the potatoes, you’ll need some baby chat potatoes with the skin on, salt, butter, rosemary and garlic-flavoured olive oil, garlic, rosemary, stock powder and all purpose mix pepper.
You should first of all put the potatoes into a pot with some salt and water.
You then need to cook them for between 10 and 12 minutes until they’ve just started to soften.
‘Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and allow them to sit,’ Laura said.
Next, pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and plate the butter and oil into a roasting pan.
Melt the butter in the oven and once it’s melted add your potatoes, garlic, herbs, spices, salt and pepper.
‘Give everything a good stir to ensure it’s all coated well,’ Laura said.
Then, put the dish in the oven, and cook for between 50 and 60 minutes, depending on how strong your oven is.
‘When the potatoes have begun to brown, squash each one down so the fluffy interior is exposed,’ Laura said.
‘Continue to cook for a further 20-30 minutes for maximum crispiness.’
Hundreds of people who saw the potato recipe said they would ‘bookmark’ it to make over the weekend.
‘Okay, these look amazing,’ one person commented.
‘These are too perfect, I have saved these to make instantly,’ another added.
