Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.

Method

  1. Using a melon baller, scoop potatoes into balls. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add potato bals. Parboil 1 minute. Drain.
  2. Melt butter with oil in a skilet. When butter foams, add potato balls, rosmeary, garlic and salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, turning frequently. When potatoes are golden, remove garlic and fresh rosemary. Serve immediately.
