Instructions:

Heat the Skillet: Begin by heating a flat skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of sunflower oil to coat the bottom.
-
Roast the Potatoes: Once the oil is heated, add the halved baby potatoes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cover the pan with a lid. Let the potatoes cook, turning them regularly to ensure even roasting on all sides. This will take about 15 minutes.

Add Aromatics: After the potatoes have been roasted and are starting to crisp up, add the chopped garlic, black pepper powder, dried oregano, and chopped spring onions (both bulb and greens). Toss the ingredients together gently to coat the potatoes in the fragrant seasonings.
-
Finish Roasting: Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, continuing to roast the potatoes for another 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft on the inside with a crispy, golden exterior.
-
Serve: Serve these roasted baby potatoes as a delightful side dish to your meal. For an amazing Sunday brunch, pair them with an herb & cheese mushroom omelette, a fresh sweet potato & green bean salad, chili cheese toast, and some baked beans on the side.
