Ingredients

  • 1 kg washed potatoes medium-large
  • 50 g vegan butter or margarine melted
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary roughly chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C. Pierce potatoes a few times with a fork to prevent splitting.
  • Add potatoes to a large pot with a very generous pinch of salt. Cover with water, then bring to the boil over medium heat for about 30 minutes or until soft.
  • Drain the potatoes, then transfer them to a roasting tray. Using a potato masher, press each potato until they partially split and are about half their starting height.
  • Drizzle potatoes with melted margarine and sprinkle with salt, rosemary and garlic. Use your hands to rub the butter and toppings onto all sides of the potatoes.
  • Bake for 60 minutes until golden and crispy.
  • Serve hot with gravy.
