Recipe Tips
- Cut potatoes the same size – To ensure the potatoes cook evenly, try to cut them as close to the same size as possible. I cut mind into approximately 2 inch pieces.
- Ensure the potatoes don’t stick – Halfway through roasting, shake the pan well to ensure the potatoes are not sticking.
Substutions
- Russet potatoes – Any good roasting potato will work for this recipe. You could even use fingerling or baby potatoes.
- Feta cheese – For a different flavour, you could use crumbled goat cheese or crumbled blue cheese.
