Ingredients

  • 1 kg baby potatoes
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • smoked paprika
  • cumin
  • sea salt
  • small handful chives
  • hard goats cheese or cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (Gas mark 6/390°F).
  • Scrub the potatoes, then drain and pat with a clean tea towel or kitchen roll until completely dry.
  • Throw the potatoes into a roasting tin with the oil, give a good shake to coat then sprinkle over smoked paprika, cumin and crushed sea salt to taste.
  • Shake again so that the potatoes are evenly coated in the spices then pop in the oven to bake for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, give the potatoes another good shake and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
  • Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes to cool a little. Once cool enough to handle, cut a cross into the top of each potato and squeeze them slightly to open up the crosses.
  • Grate the cheese (I used hard goats cheese for mine so that my dairy free husband could eat some of them).
  • Place the potatoes on a platter or serving dish, then top each one with a dollop of sour cream or good pinch of grated cheese. Sprinkle over chopped chives and serve.
