Another title for this dish could be roast-potatoes-with-anything and then some. The humble potato makes such a range of accessible meals – morning, noon and night. From medley to majestic.
Roast potatoes are such a breeze to prepare (they are!), elevating the eating experience with a crispy bite that turns into a creamy and satisfying mouthfeel. Then there is the beautiful visual of pale and warm yellows with deep and deeper browns.
Here I roasted the chipped (cut into smaller pieces) potatoes with brussel sprouts – contrasting their slight bitterness (and caramelised squidginess) with the slight sweetness (and ridged crispiness) of the potatoes.
The earthy aroma of the vegetables meeting nutty, fruitiness of the coconut oil – my roasting fat of choice this time.
Obviously, roast potatoes are a mainstay of the inimitable juicy and meaty sunday roast, but you can pair them with anything. I served mine with equally humble boiled eggs!
-
- Around five peeled and chipped potatoes
- 1/4 cup of Coconut oil (can also use ghee, or olive oil) enough to coat all the vegetables
- Boiled eggs (2- 4)
- A bag of brussel sprouts peeled and washed. You can use carrots if you prefer.
- Herbed sea salt or plain sea salt
- 1/4 cup of Coconut oil.
- Rinse the potato pieces and arrange in your roasting pan.
- Add in your brussel sprouts.
- Drizzle veg with coconut oil and mix. If the oil is solid, dot over the veg and mix together after the pan has had 10 mins in the oven.
- Roast the vegetables for about 45mins, giving it a good mix at the half way mark.
- Once ready bring out of the oven and season with sea salt.
- Halve the boiled eggs and arrange over the roasted vegetables to serve. Eh voila!
