Roast potatoes are a hit at any time of the year but at Christmas they come into their own – gracing everything from canape plates to side dishes and of course, the main event itself.
Whilst they’re easy to master, there are a few tricks that can really elevate your roasties – from par boiling to a pre-bake shake and of course, selecting a good quality oil with a high smoke point. Here, potato afficionado Dom in the Kitchen shares his top three tips for amazing results every time with a little help from our Mellow Yellow cold pressed rapeseed oil.
These simple smashed potato canapes are so much joy to make over the festive period and make delightful party canapes.

We’ve opted for smoked salmon, cream cheese & dill, brie & cranberry, and pear, stilton & walnut. But you can try whatever toppings you fancy – it’ll be equally as delicious!

This delightful pumpkin-shaped sourdough is a joy to make at any time of the year, but especially around Halloween when pumpkins reign supreme!
It requires a little focus and attention but is achievable by anyone and (with the help of a good starter) will reward you with a light, bubbly loaf. Our Chilli Oil goes into the dough at the end of bulk fermentation, along with a generous helping of cheddar. Of course, all sourdoughs require a good quality salt so we turned to our friends at Cornish Sea Salt to lend a helping hand. We think you’ll agree the result is one worth celebrating!
