Hot tarragon potatoes with a punchy, creamy dressing spiked with a dollop of horseradish. Tarragon goes beautifully with any chicken dish. Think roast, stuffed, or even poached chicken breasts.
These tarragon potatoes have been triple-tested by Essentials magazine. Like traditional roast potatoes (opens in new tab), these spuds have plenty of crunch plus an added boost of flavour and a delicious dressing. For added zesty flavour, try sprinkling over the zest of an unwaxed lemon just before serving. Serving a fish dish? You could switch the tarragon with fresh dill and a couple of spoonfuls of capers.
