Tatws rhost (Roast potatoes)
50 min
In parts of old south west Wales this dish was traditionally made in a pot oven suspended over an open fire in the kitchen. Of course now we use a gas or electric oven but it definitely loses some of its rustic qualities when cooked in this modern way. Best served with meat and gravy as part of a larger roast dinner.
