We have recently got an air fryer and so far I am in love with it. One of the first things that I tried to cook was roast potatoes and they were honestly the best roasts I have ever tasted and so easy to create too. You will need: 4 medium Potatoes 2 tbsp oil Salt and pepper Method 1. Peel and cut you potatoes in to half and half again. 2. Par boil you potatoes for 10-15 mins, when draining give them a shake to fluff the edges up. 3. Leave to steam for a few. 4. Coat your potatoes in the oil and toss until covered, add the salt and pepper and toss again 5. Place in your air fryer on 200°c for 25-30 mins until golden brown. 6. Serve. These have honestly so tasty and have come out perfect every time we have tried them, still fluffy inside with a nice outer costing.  You could add some herbs such a rosemary to add even more flavour, perfect for a roast.

I wanted to share this very simple and tasty recipe that is a staple in our house, we came across it accidentally came across when Olivia was newborn. We threw a piece of gammon in the slow cooker one day and planned to have dinner around 7 pm, Olivia had other plans and the gammon was left in for longer, when we got it out it fell apart and was so good and that's when I looked into actual recipes we could try. We have tried a few different things but found that this one worked the best for our family. This is a two part recipe, firstly is the slow cooker part and secondly is a bit of time in the oven.  For the slow cooker you will need: - Gammon joint, we use a 750g one - 1 onion roughly sliced - 1 bouquet garni  - Salt and pepper - Water to cover around 1/3 of gammon - Honey I usually put the gammon on around 11 am on low for about 2 hours, and then turn up to high for around 5 hours, I do turn occasionally. I put the gammon in the middle with the onion around the edge, then...
