What else can you do with new potatoes apart from boil them?
I'm cooking for my boyfriend tonight and I have a load of new potatoes but wanted to do something different with them as a side dish. Does anyone have any ideas?! Was thinking of some kind of potato layered creamy thing or something but I guess that's more for old potatoes.
Anyone got any ideas please?

you could boil them and make them into crushed potatoes, very popular in resteraunts trying to be swanky, you often get things served on top of 'new potato crush'. you can add flavours then and its a nice texture because the skins are on
Do you have to use fresh herbs or dried?
How long do you put them in the oven for and on what heat?
Thanks!
You are supposed to peel them but I prefer the skin left on (and peeling new taties is a pain in the arse) and then slice through them further than halfway down but not all the way through. Best picture I could find:
Grease an ovenproof pan with butter or oil, whack your potatoes in and brush them with butter (or oil) using a pastry brush. Salt and pepper as usual and then put them into the oven for 25-30 mins. Take them out, brush them with butter and season again. If you want to add breadcrumbs or different herbs or put cheese on top then that's the time to do it. Then they go back into the oven for 10-15 minutes or however long it takes for them to cook. They fan out naturally as they cook so they look pretty impressive as well as tasting like heaven because the butter seeps right through
Sounds lovely!! :thumb:
Whack them in the oven at about 200 degrees for about 45 mins, keep checking to make sure they arent too dry and if they are, add a little more oil.
Thankyou
Also loving that picture Briggi, I do like a good potato slicing diagram! Can't be that healthy with the mountains of butter but buttery potatoes are the best
