  • 30g Unsalted Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 50ml White Wine
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Chives (optional)
  • Preparation Time: 5 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 25 minutes
  • Serves: 3

Method

  3. Cook them for about 25 minutes turning them over every 5-10 minutes. They are cooked when a knife easily goes through them and they feel like a cooked roast potato.
