SERVES: 6

INGREDIENTS

 

2 x 750g baby Spud Lite Potatoes

1 bulb garlic, broken into individual cloves with skin on

1/2 cup caper berries, rinsed

½ cup semi dried tomatoes, drained

1/3 cup parsley leaves, roughly chopped

 

Dressing

1/3 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

¼ cup black olive tapenade

4 anchovies (optional), finely chopped

2 teaspoons dried mixed herbs

Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

 

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).
  1. Cook potatoes in a large pot of gently boiling water for 25 minutes. Drain.
  1. For the dressing, combine olive oil, garlic, tapenade, anchovies, mixed herbs, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, stirring to combine.
  1. Place hot drained potatoes on two lightly oiled non-stick baking trays. Using the back of a wooden spoon crush potatoes and drizzle over dressing. Place in preheated oven and cook for 25 minutes. Turn potatoes over and scatter garlic cloves and caper berries between the two trays. Return trays to oven on opposite shelves for a further 25 minutes or until golden and crispy, adding tomatoes for the final 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
