Roasted Potatoes With Anchoviesbutter and Tuna Recipe

Image
In a medium pot, cover 350g   baby potatoes with at least 2 cm of water, and add a generous amount of salt. Bring to a simmer, then cook until potatoes are very soft, 25 to 30 minutes. You want to overcook them a little, so the insides stay creamy when they’re roasted later. Drain the potatoes, and let them cool until you can handle them. Heat oven to 235°C.  Use your hands to smash the potatoes to about 2cm thick and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with oil and a little salt. (The more generous you are with the oil, the crispier the potatoes will get.) Arrange potatoes in a single layer. Roast until dark golden and crisp, 40 to 50 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. Meanwhile, melt 5 tbsp unsalted butter in a small pot over medium heat. Stir in 6 chopped  anchovies and 1 tbsp drained capers, and continue to cook until butter is brown and nutty. Stir in a finely grated clove of garlic and remove pan from heat. Pour brown butter all over the potato
