    Ingredients

    1.5kg floury potatoes, such as King Edwards, peeled and cut into quarters

    3. Add the potatoes, parsnips, garlic and thyme to the fat and turn to coat. Roast in the oven for 50-55 minutes until crisp. Season again before serving.

    Cook's tipGet ahead: par-boil the potatoes and parsnips the night before you need them so they’re ready to go straight into the oven.
