This festive side dish is perfect when you fancy a change from regular roast potatoes - or perhaps you fancy both! The potatoes are crushed before roasting, meaning there are plenty of crispy edges, and topped with melted Stilton. The finishing touch comes in the form of a seasonal chestnut gremolata.
Boil the unpeeled potatoes whole in salted water, until just tender, then drain
Preheat the oven to 180ºC
Toss the potatoes with oil and spread out over a lined baking tray, then squash each one flat so that it breaks apart. Brush with more oil and season with salt. Roast for 40 minutes
Make the chestnut gremolata by combining all the ingredients and mixing well
After 40 minutes, crumble the Stilton over the potatoes in large pieces. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the Stilton has melted
Top with the chestnut gremolata to serve
