Yeas truly hideous. I like how the camera flash has picked up a glob of orangeness which makes it look like caked on fat. The purple potatoes came in some sort of multi-potato pack. We identified Kipfler and Pontiac, but these dark purple, hard-staining potatoes are as yet unknown. Wonderful colours. Surely could only be improved with a bit of pale sickly green like brussels sprouts or sliced (steamed) asparagus.
The killer punchline is that it actually tasted great. The potatoes were more colourful than flavoursome, and we did forget (again) that turning off the oven while leaving the fan-forced on will result in the grill being activated. This in turn results in us thinking that the "heat box thing" is no longer producing heat when in fact it is producing scorching temperatures focussed directly at our defenceless potatoes. "Crunchy" is a word best used to describe crisps, not burnt chunks of potato, but Keelie always does great with her mustard chicken, and the crunchy potatoes simply aded an extra dimension to the dish.
Next time - Vegies
