What You Need:
- 800g Maris Piper Potatoes
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme and rosemary
- 5 tbsp goose fat
- 6 readymade pigs in blankets
- 60g sage and onion stuffing mix
- 140g Primula Pigs in Blankets
- Cranberry sauce, to serve
How You Do It:
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
- Peel and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces). Add the potatoes to a large pot and pour over cold water. Cover and bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain.
- While the potatoes cook, put the goose fat into a large roasting tin and place it in the oven to heat up.
- Replace the lid on the pot and shake the potatoes until slightly fluffy. Add the potatoes to the hot goose fat and baste them with a metal spoon. Sprinkle over the herbs.
- Roast for 45-55 minutes until golden brown, basting again halfway through.
- Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Hydrate the stuffing mix according to packet instructions. Roll into golf-sized balls and arrange on the baking tray. Place the Pigs in Blankets onto the tray with the stuffing.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping everything halfway through.
- Once everything is cooked, remove the potatoes from the goose fat with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen towel. Take the stuffing and sausages off the tray. Slice each sausage into 3 or 4 pieces.
- Tip the potatoes onto the lined baking tray. Push the potatoes together so they are in a close single layer. Tip over the sliced sausages and tear each stuffing ball into 3 or 4 pieces.
- Top with Primula Pigs in Blankets squeeze. Return to the oven until the cheese has melted, around 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat up your gravy of choice.
- Tip the potatoes into a large serving bowl. Pour over the gravy and dot over a spoonful of cranberry sauce. Enjoy!
