Crispy Paprika Potatoes with Chive and Garlic Oil
Feeds 3 - 4
Oof, definitely one of my favourite pictures so far. The colours are pretty enticing which obviously means the flavours are too. If you've got a big family or group of friends to feed then double the recipe because these are so freaking delicious and disappear if you take your eyes off of it. The Weeping Angels of food these are; move so quick you can't even comprehend. They will definitely send you somewhere much nicer too... Am I killing this analogy?
I like Doctor Who okay.

If you're not a veggie then add some chopped up maple bacon to this because oh my lord it is delicious
Want some spice? Add some de-seeded, diced chillies to the garlic oil. Or instead of grain mustard, chuck some horseradish on.
Vegan: Just take away those eggs and you'll be right as rain
