Roasted garlic new potatoes
These potatoes are the perfect side dish—simple, versatile, and lifted by just a hint of garlic. There’s something wonderfully satisfying about a tray of roasted new potatoes, especially when they’re tossed with mellow, garlic. Crisp on the outside, fluffy within, they quietly steal the show every time.
When are these roasted new potatoes good to be served with?
I love serving these alongside cheesy cod gratin or Mexican chilli chicken —they’re such a reliable, crowd‑pleasing side. They go with absolutely anything, from easy weeknight dinners to full Sunday roasts, and they deliver maximum flavour for minimal effort.
