<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know about you, but having moved in with my boyfriend for over a year now (yay, we\u2019ve been living together for a year now!), I have a new found respect for the Sunday home cooked meal. Personally, I think when food is made with a little love it can be a really fun pastime to do together on a casual Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Not that I do a lot of cooking – I am lucky enough to have found a guy who actually wants to do a lot of cleaning and cooking. But when I am occasionally allowed to get the frying pan and baking tray to myself, I try to make the most of a good meal!<\/p>\n
This Sunday, I will be making an attempt (attempt is the operative word here) at Baked French Potatoes a l\u00e1 Jamie Oliver. The man famous for his 20-minute meals, I am hopeful that this should be a relatively easy task for me!<\/p>\n
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. While your oven is warming up, peel and finely slice 800g of potatoes. Peel, halve then finely slice 400g of medium onions and 3 cloves of garlic. Pick some leaves from a little handful fresh flat-leaf parsley and finely chop. Pour a little olive oil into a large, hot pan with your onions and parsley. Slowly fry for 10 minutes, until your onions are soft and light golden. Add a little pinch of salt and pepper for crispiness.<\/p>\n
Next mix 1 vegetable or chicken stock cube in 850ml of boiling water. In a large baking dish, place a layer of potatoes, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, followed by a layer of onions. Repeat until you\u2019ve used up your ingredients but try to finish with a layer of potatoes. Next, break up 2 knobs of butter and dot over the top. Rub olive oil into your foil and place over your baking dish butter side down.<\/p>\n
Place in your now warmed up oven for 45 minutes and then remove foil, push potatoes down and return to your oven for a further 20-40 minutes until golden brown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I don\u2019t know about you, but having moved in with my boyfriend for over a year now (yay, we\u2019ve been living together for a year now!), I have a new found respect for the Sunday home cooked meal.
