Back To Blog & Hasslefree Hasslebacks

So this time last year I tried to be a blogger... And flaked due to various things including time! 
Now I'm giving it another stab and am going to try harder...

I have loads of ideas of what I want to do with this blog and will hopefully post knew content at least once a month.

I'm kicking things off with a quick savoury bake I tried out this evening: 

Hassleback Potatoes

I've been seeing pictures and 'how tos' of these all over the net for ages and have been meaning to give them a go for a while. 
They where super easy and very tasty for little effort. 

All you need is:
Some small-medium sized new potatoes 
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper 
Dried Mixed Herbs

Slice the potatoes about 4/5 of the way down in small intervals of about 3mm. I used straws either side of the potato as a guide for my knife so I didn't cut all the way through by mistake.
Place in a baking tray sliced side up.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Grind a good amount of salt and pepper on top and then sprinkle with herbs.

Bake in a medium hot oven (i have a fan oven and had them on 180) for around 40 mins, shaking the tray occasionally, until they're golden brown and crispy round the edges. 

I served mine with stuffed chicken breasts, broccoli and gravy and they where really good! 
They would work really well with steak, salmon or any classic meat and veg dish too. 
Next time I make them I'll try smashing a few cloves of garlic and tossing them on the tray too for a flavour change. 

Let me know what you think if you give them a go.
