Roast potatoes are a stalwart of many a Sunday dinner. To me, they should be golden and crispy where they caramelize in the tin. This is normally achieved by using oil or some type of fat.
These days or especially this time of the year we are all trying to eat healthier and cut down on calories. I still wanted the lovely roast potato flavour but wanted to ramp it up a bit and remove the fat content. What better way to this than use lots of lovely garlic and herbs. To replace the fat I used vegetable stock.
Believe me, you will not miss the fat and these definitely have a place on any roast dinner.
