Roasted potato and pepper

Sometimes I just want to jazz up my roasted potatoes so I add some herbs, other veggies and spices. This roasted potato and pepper is an ideal side dish when you make a roast dinner. Choose rosemary if your main is lamb or pork, and thyme if it’s chicken or beef. I like putting an opened chilli pepper in the pan, as it adds a kick to the potatoes but it’s a matter of taste, not essential.
