Method

1. 1.Halve the potatoes and put in a pan of cold water. Season well with salt, then bring to the boil. Once boiling, cook for 20 mins, until tender when pierced with a knife. Drain in a colander.
2. 2.Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lightly oil a 23cm springform cake tin and tip in the potatoes. Use the bottom of a mug or a clean, smaller tin to press the potatoes down in an even layer and create a uniform base and side.
