Truffle and Parmesan Roasties
Thirty seconds turns a tray of roasties into a restaurant side.
Once your roast potatoes are crisp, two minutes and three ingredients turn them into something special. It's the easiest upgrade on the Christmas table.

- 1 tray roast potatoes (recipe 3)

Charlie's cheat
Truffle oil is a finishing oil, so add it at the end, never in the roasting tin.
Make it special
Add chopped fresh rosemary with the parmesan, and serve a pot of Cotswold Gold Truffle Mayo for dipping. If you're really going for it, shave over a little fresh black truffle.
Why it works
Truffle oil is a finishing oil, so tossing it through hot potatoes at the end releases its aroma without cooking it away.
Your questions answered
Can I roast potatoes in truffle oil?
No. Truffle oil loses its flavour at high heat. Roast in rapeseed or Roast Potato Oil, then toss in truffle oil at the end.
How much truffle oil should I use?
A little goes a long way. A tablespoon is plenty for a tray of potatoes for six.
Made with White Truffle Oil.
