Add a burst of flavour to any meal with these herb roasted potatoes. Thyme, rosemary, and oregano combined with chilli and red pepper flakes make these crispy potatoes a delicious side.

A tasty alternative to traditional roast potatoes, these potatoes go well with everything from roast dinners to BBQs. Save time and leave the skins on for a rustic flavour, or mix it up by swapping half the white potatoes for sweet ones. Any leftover cold potatoes can be sliced and fried in hot oil or used to make bubble and squeak.

Put the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with cold salted water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return to the pan.
Put the lid on the pan and shake very well to roughen the surface of the potatoes.
Pour the oil into the pan and shake again to coat them.
Put the thyme, rosemary, oregano, pepper flakes, chilli powder and salt and pepper into a small bowl. Mix together well.
Add the herb mix to the potatoes and shake again to thoroughly coat the potatoes.
