Hasselback potatoes with gorgonzola & honey
Ingredients
- 1 kg small-medium waxy potatoes
- ½ a bunch of fresh rosemary , (15g)
- 80 g unsalted butter , (cold)
- olive oil
- runny honey
- 75 g Gorgonzola cheese
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400°F/gas 6.
- Make cuts across the width of each potato, 1 to 2mm apart, all the way along. Slice about two-thirds of the way into the flesh.
- Pick the rosemary, then stuff the cuts in the potatoes sporadically with the rosemary leaves.
- Cube, then dot the butter over the base of a large roasting tray and drizzle in the oil. Pop the tray into the oven for a few minutes so that the butter melts, then place the potatoes carefully into the tray.
- Roast for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and cooked through, basting with the butter in the tray a few times during cooking and turning regularly until they are golden and crisp all over.
- Drizzle all the spuds lightly with the honey, then return to the oven or another 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place the potatoes on a board or platter. Crumble over the gorgonzola and serve while still warm.
