Instructions
 

  • Place a large pot of water onto boil with a pinch of salt, add the potatoes and parboil for 15 minutes
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan), drain the water and place the potatoes on two baking trays, then using a glass or small bowl push down on the potatoes until they smush
  • Drizzle with olive oil, salt, oregano then pop in the oven

Notes

  • For the herby dip, it changes every time I make it. Sometimes I swap the vinegar for pickle juice, or chives for dill. Make do with what you have in the cupboards.
