  • olive oil
  • salt & pepper
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
  2. 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)
  3. Boil the potatoes until soft, around 30 minutes. Dry the potatoes and let them dry off.
  4. 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.

  6. Place in the baking tray, into the hot oven and bake until crispy and golden, approx. 30-40 minutes depending on your oven.
