Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 30 min.

Wash 2 kgs 400 g potatoes, cut them into pieces and cook in a large pot of salted water until they are tender.

I used new potatoes here, if you don't have any, use the classic ones, but peel them.

Stage 2 - 4 min.

Drain the potatoes, then pour them into a salad bowl.

Add 12 tablespoons olive oil and mix well.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Stage 3 - 3 min.

Place a sheet of baking paper in a baking tray.

Spread the oiled potatoes on top, and place the cauliflower (here a small one) next to it, which you will also coat with olive oil with a brush.

Add salt and pepper.

Bake for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are golden brown.

Do not turn off the oven.
