This classic vegan side dish of herb-roasted potatoes is all about celebrating simple, high-quality ingredients. By using Yukon Gold potatoes, you achieve a wonderful contrast between the naturally buttery, fluffy interior and a crisp, golden-brown skin. The addition of crushed garlic and woody herbs like rosemary and thyme infuses the olive oil, ensuring every bite is packed with a fragrant, earthy flavour that complements almost any main course.
