Delicious as part of a classic roast dinner, these roasted new potatoes also make a great side dish for lighter dishes such as poached salmon or stuffed chicken breasts.
These flavoursome roasted new potatoes are a great alternative to traditional roast potatoes. There’s no peeling and no parboiling, and they roast in just 35 minutes. Plus a portion of these potatoes works out at only 137 calories per serving. Make sure you don’t waste any leftover potatoes. Save them for the following morning, crush and fry in a bit of butter on a pan, add some whisked eggs and you’ve got yourself a mouth-watering Spanish omelette-style breakfast.
Ingredients

- Put the potatoes into a roasting tin. Add the garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Wearing oven gloves, put the roasting tin in the oven and roast for 20 mins. Again, wearing oven gloves, remove the tin from the oven. Turn the potatoes, to help them brown evenly, and cook for another 15 mins, until they’re golden and crispy.
