Ingredients
- 8 Potatoes
- mixed herbs
- olive oil
- English Mustard
- 2 garlic cloves. finely chopped
Method
- Peel and chop potatoes into chunks (roughly the same size as an average roast potato) place into deep baking tray, sprinkle chopped garlic over the top and cover with kettle boiled water. - Coverage of potatoes around 2 thirds.
Put 1 teaspoon of english mustard over the potatoes - it doesnt matter about covering all potatoes as it is soaked up with the water. Generously sprinkle olive oil over the potatoes and then sprinkle mixed herbs over the top. Add a touch of salt and pepper and cover tray with kitchen foil.
Put oven onto 200 and place tray inside. They take roughly 1 hour to make, sometimes a little longer depending how long the water takes to soak into the potatoes. Once the majority of the water is soaked up uncover the tray and leave to cook without foil.
Tips
- My only tip would be to try these, they are delicious!! They go perfect with pretty much everything - fish, chicken, steak etc etc

This is a very clever idea. Love it!
Is the english mustard the ready made stuff or like coleman's mustard powder?

Hi, me again! The potatoes were excellent! I was a bit short of time so covered and put in the microwave for 5 mins first then carried on in the oven. So simple, very mediterranean. Will defo do them again :-)

Thank you for getting back to me with your verdict. They do take quite a while to cook if you're short for time but i am pleased you found a way around that and enjoyed them

Hi,
I would love to try this recipe but before I do can you tell me which mixed herbs you use.
Thanks

Hi sofia, if you just go to the herb section at your local supermarket and look for a pot of 'mixed herbs'. Any make will do because they all tend to be pretty much the same. I hope you enjoy them!
