Ingredients:
- 750 g Oakley Golden Gourmet baby potatoes
- 20 mL olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 125 g Brie (keep the rind on!), cut into small pieces
- 100 g cranberry sauce
- Toppings:
- Fresh green herbs (parsley, thyme or chives), chopped
- 20 g walnuts, roughly chopped
- 15 mL honey
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 220 °C.
- Cook the potatoes: Pop the potatoes into a pot of salted water and boil until you can easily pierce them with a fork, about 15 minutes.
- Prep for roasting: Drain the potatoes and let them sit for a minute so they’re not too steamy. Place them on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
- Smash the potatoes: Gently press each potato down with a fork or potato masher so it flattens a bit but stays in one piece.
- Roast: Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the edges turn golden and crisp.
- Add the Brie: About 5 minutes before the potatoes are done, scatter the Brie pieces on top so it softens and melts slightly.
Top with cranberry and extras: Spoon cranberry sauce over each potato. Sprinkle over the fresh herbs and walnuts. Drizzle lightly with honey for a sweet finish.
