Recipe by bluemoon downunder

A classic British potato dish, which is probably traditionally served with roast beef, English mustard and green peas. Adapted from a recipe on a 'Pan or Wok' recipe card from International Masters Publishers. A suggested variation on the card is that these potatoes can also be made with left-over roast potatoes. I've only made this dish with new potatoes, and served it as an accompaniment to grilled or BBQd meat.
