We love finding new ways to enjoy potatoes at Pinch of Nom. While it’s difficult to improve upon Roast Potatoes’ crispy perfection, we’ve given them a run for their money with this Roast Potatoes with Herbs and Lemon recipe.
Unlike traditional roasties, these flavoursome spuds aren’t crunchy all over. By braising them in a herby lemon and garlic stock first, we’ve guaranteed they’re softened and packed with moreish, citrusy flavours throughout. You’ll know they’re ready when they’re fluffy in the middle with some lightly-crisped edges.
Herby, fresh and light, they’re a delightful accompaniment alongside fragrant meat dishes like our slimming-friendly Chicken Souvlaki and Tzatziki. They’re vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free (when made with a gluten-free stock cube), so they’re perfect for plant-based feasts too!
