This side dish recipe is perfect if you'd like a quick fix for a roast potatoes, as baby potatoes take half the time to cook and, better yet, don't require any peeling! Pair with everything from steak and salad to Sunday lunch.

What fats can you cook your baby roast potatoes in?

Any fat can be used to roast your baby potatoes; for example, olive oil, beef dripping, goose fat or butter. If you're using butter, make sure to also add an oil of your choice (such as rapeseed or sunflower) to the roasting tray to increase the burning point of the butter. Remember to keep tossing your potatoes in the chosen fat throughout the cooking process to ensure an even and crispy result.

Added flavour:

You can flavour your potatoes with any of your favourite ingredients but always remember to season them generously before they go into the oven.

Here are some of our suggested flavourings, but feel free to get creative and experiment. Your potatoes, your rules!

Before placing your potatoes in the oven, toss or sprinkle your potatoes with any combination of the following in the baking tray:

• Flavoured oil (such as garlic, lemon or chilli)

• Dried herbs

• Mustard seeds

• Garlic

• Lemon zest, finely grated

• Spices, such as ground coriander, chilli flakes or paprika

Plan your tastiest Sunday roast yet with the help of our favourite side dish recipes.
