- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 45 mins
- Total Time: 1 hours 0 mins
Ingredients
- 800 g floury potatoes, red or white (about 4-5 large)
- 4 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Spicecraft pimped pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 125 g wheel of brie (or camembert works too!)
Instructions
- Make the infused oil: place the oil in a small saucepan along with the rosemary, pimped pepper and crushed garlic. Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain oil; through a mesh sieve to remove the larger herbs.
- Make the whipped brie: Slice the white rind off as closely as possible and chop into squares. In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, whip the brie for 4-5 minutes until fluffy and soft. For the first few minutes, it’ll look like it won’t come together but be patient! Drizzle in 2 teaspoons of the infused oil and whip a further minute.
- Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters (no need to peel!), depending on their size. You want them to be relatively even-sized. Place into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender when stuck with a fork but not falling apart, about 15-20 minutes)
- Place the potatoes onto a lined baking tray and press firmly with a spatula or flat object. It doesn’t matter if they fall apart, just press back together.
- Drizzle the remaining oil over the potatoes and sprinkle with more pimped pepper (you can also add a sprinkle of kiwi rub if you like it a bit spicier).
- Bake the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until nicely golden. Serve with a dollop of the whipped brie and some sliced spring onions.
