Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (680 g) baby potatoes
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, for squeezing
  • 1 tbsp hot honey, for drizzling
  • chili flakes, optional

Sage Butter

  • ⅓ cup (80 g) salted butter
  • 20-25 sage leaves, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp hot honey

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C / 390F
  • Boil the potatoes (whole, with the skins on) for 10-12 minutes until they're just tender. A knife should go through them smoothly, but don't leave them any longer than that. Once ready, drain and place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients for the sage butter in a small saucepan over a very low heat. Allow the butter to melt, stirring regularly, until it's all incorporated. Your goal isn't to cook the sage or the garlic, just to melt the better and let the flavors infuse. Take off the heat and set aside.
  • Use a heavy glass, bowl or potato masher to press each potato until they smush up a little (a glass ramekin is my favorite tool for this job!) You don't want them to fully break, but you want them misshapen.
  • Pour the garlic sage butter mixture over all of the potatoes, making sure they are all well covered. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until browned and crispy. Remove from the oven and drizzle a little more of the hot honey over each individual potato. If your honey is very thick, microwave it in a small bowl for 15 seconds to make it runny and pour-able.
  • Squeeze a little lemon or lime juice over the top and add the chili flakes (if desired). Serve immediately.
