Cheesy Roast New Potatoes with Wild Garlic - This recipe is so easy to make and takes advantage of two seasonal stars of Spring, Jersey Royal potatoes and Wild Garlic. It's made a little more decadent by the addition of cheese which melts over the roast potatoes - and who doesn't love cheesy potatoes.

Ingredients

750g Jersey Royals (scrubbed and chopped into even-sized pieces)
2 tablespoons British rapeseed oil
12 to 15 wild garlic leaves (finely chopped, plus extra to garnish)
Sea salt flakes
100g grated Cheddar cheese
Wild garlic flowers (to garnish)

Note

Directions

Step 1	Preheat oven to 200C/180C fan/400F/Gas mark 6.
Step 2	Cut any larger potatoes in half and then place them into a large ovenproof roasting tray. Drizzle over the oil and turn the potatoes over to coat them in oil.
Step 3	Add the chopped wild garlic and sea salt flakes and mix well with the potatoes and oil.
Step 4	Roast them in the preheated oven for between 50 and 60 minutes, until they are crispy on the outside and tender in the middle; shake the roasting tray three or four times during cooking to ensure they all cook evenly for an even crispness.
Step 5	Take them out of the oven and sprinkle the grated cheese over the top before returning them to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes so the cheese melts. Remove them from the oven, garnish with extra chopped wild garlic leaves and wild garlic flowers and serve immediately as a side accompaniment.
