Roast potatoes are an English classic, but these have that herby Italian flavour no one can resist.
These super-simple potatoes are great roasted in a little olive oil. Herbs, garlic and onion add an Italian twist, and for extra flavour you could try adding some cubed pancetta half way through cooking.
