A special meal

So the Saturday kids decided to create a special meal for Granny. They decided on the roast vegetables and the silverside (see previous recipes) and added roast potatoes. For dessert, they decided on apple pie (see next recipe).

Peel the potatoes and cut in half.
Boil in rapidly boiling water for about 15 minutes.
Place in roasting dish, sprinkle with olive oil and cook at 180 degrees C until golden and brown. The outside will be crisp but the inside is still soft.

Photos show the meal plated with gravy and the special menu.
