This dish is not only vegetarian and gluten-free but also packed with flavor and texture. The rich, earthy taste of Desirée potatoes pairs beautifully with the fragrant spring onions and fresh thyme, making each bite a delightful experience.

The final touch of a creamy blend of salad and soured cream, along with a generous sprinkle of spring onions, creates a decadent, mouthwatering contrast that will have everyone reaching for seconds.

What makes this recipe even better is how easy it is to prepare. You can make most of it in advance and chill it until you're ready to roast, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. Whether you're serving it as a side dish for a family dinner or as part of a special gathering, these crispy baked potatoes will surely impress. They're the ideal balance of comfort food and gourmet flavor!

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg potatoes 
  • tbsp olive oil for drizzling
  •  spring onion thinly sliced
  • tbsp thyme sprigs fresh
  • tbsp cup heavy whipping cream 
  • tbsp cream 

Equipment

  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas
  2. Bake the potatoes for 2 hrs until soft to the middle (alongside the pork is fine).
  3. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, most of the spring onions, thyme and plenty of seasoning in a slightly-too-small roasting tin. Use the back of a fish slice or similar to squash the potatoes into a flat-ish compact cake. Chill until ready to finish, for up to a day.
  4. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 (when the pork comes out).
  5. Drizzle the spuds with a little more oil and roast for 30-40 mins until golden and crisp.
  6. Mix the salad cream and soured cream, drizzle over, then scatter with remaining spring onions and more seasoning, and serve.
