Ingredients

750g Charlotte potatoes

1 large leek, finely shredded

2 bay leaves

3 tbsp olive oil

30g butter

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Take 4 lengths of 38 x 60cm greaseproof paper. Lie one piece horizontally on a large baking tray and top with the other piece vertically to form a cross shape.
2
Parboil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes. Drain well, cool slightly and cut in half. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the leeks, bay leaves, oil and butter. Season with rock salt and black pepper.
3
Pile half the potatoes in the centre of the greaseproof paper and scrunch the edges to form a moneybag shape. Tie with string. Repeat with the remaining potatoes to make a second parcel – this is much easier with a helper!
4
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the vegetables are steaming hot. Remove from the oven and bring straight to the table. Serve from the untied bags – the kids will love them!
