Ingredients
- 12 Medium potatoes, washed not peeled
- 1/2 cup chives, finely chopped
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add salt to season the water (a little bit salty is great, 1 tablespoon should do it)
- Boil the potatoes until soft, around 30 minutes. Dry the potatoes and let them dry off.
- Place potatoes on a cooking tray and using a masher, or mug, or fork – squish down the potatoes until they are halfway squashed, don’t worry about tearing but try to keep them in one piece. Let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly and dry.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Place in the baking tray, into the hot oven and bake until crispy and golden, approx. 30-40 minutes depending on your oven.
- Remove, sprinkle with sea salt and any leftover chopped fresh herbs.
