Anna Jones' Cheese And Pickle Roast Potatoes · Rach Pilston
Anna Jones’ latest book, Easy Wins, is a celebration of the ingredients that are already in your cupboard, quick and simple recipes that we know we’ll make again and again. Anna has choosen this recipe for us to share, her perfect tray of potatoes.
From Anna: "A tray of these for dinner is just about the best thing I can think of to eat. Squashed crisp-edged potatoes, tossed and baked in pickle brine to give them a subtle but important chip-shop-vinegar feeling. Once hot and crisped, the potatoes are topped with cornichons and cheese and finished with a chilli and bitter lettuce salad, though the potatoes are also good just on their own.
Pickle brine is often thrown away but it is highly seasoned gold. It is acidic, a little salty and usually a little sweet, so it instantly adds depth like a splash of vinegar would but in a more mellow way."
