I got Jamie's book "Together" three years ago and somehow haven't managed to make any real use of it. It's a lovely book, well put together and filled with things I think I might like to try... and yet somehow it's just never seen the light of day. Until now.
For Christmas this year I cooked two types of potatoes, just because. The other were regular roast potatoes (with the only oddity being that I don't bother peeling potatoes any more). Just to be sure, I actually did a dry run of the Hasselbacks a few weeks ago, meaning that this was their second outing.
Well, first or second, they're really good. The only downside was that quite a lot ended up in the bin, by virtue of there just being way too much food.
In terms of effort to prepare, these are rather more work than regular roast potatoes, as there's a load of work cutting slices through them. But that's not too bad - amongst other things, when I got them into the oven for the first roast it gave me ideal time to prepare a load of other things.
All in all, these were a winner, and we'll definitely have them again. They will not, however, be supplanting the regular roast potato - I like them both.
