• 600 – 800g Maris Piper Potatoes *

Essential Equipment

• Large Baking Sheet
• Silicone Baking Mat or Baking Paper
• 5cm Heart Cutter

*Any floury potato will do. The final amount of potatoes may vary dependent on the size & shape of them (i.e. how many hearts you can get from 1 potato.)

Preheat your oven to 210°C/Fan 200°C and line a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or baking paper. Set to one side.

Firstly, cut your potatoes into 5mm (approx 1/4″) thick slices then, using your heart cutter, cut out as many hearts as you can. No need to peel the potatoes.

Repeat until all your potatoes are used up then place all the hearts into a large bowl.

Drizzle over the olive oil, rosemary, onion salt & garlic powder. Get your hands in there and give it a really good mix until everything is evenly coated.

Tip the potato hearts out onto your prepared baking sheet & spread out into a single layer. Try not to overcrowd the tray.

Place them into your preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn them all over half way through the cooking time to ensure an even bake.

That’s it! Divide between plates or tip into a bowl and serve immediately.
