One of the finest things that pops up in summer time is new potatoes. Simon Hopkinson has a bit of a thing about them, and he insists that they are peeled before cooking, He admits to having spent a decent amount of time seated in restaurant of all types carefully peeling his new potatoes while bemused waiting staff looked on.
If that is true, then Hopkinson had best avert his eyes while we roast off these baby news with skins and all. They are glorious.
Thanks go to Great British Chefs for the method and the confidence to just sling tiny tatties in the oven with oil and herbs.
