You don't have to roast them as long AND it keeps the middle tender while the outside stays crispy!Adding a tangy flavour like vinegar, pickles or lemon juice, adds depth to the flavour and lifts the salad!Add the dressing while the potatoes are still warm (not too hot) as it mixes better and they will absorb the flavour.Adding lemon juice can stop the potatoes from browning and keep the salad fresh.

"Use ornamental feature trees," she advised anyone struggling with limited outdoor space. "Multi-stem specimens in particular can be kept to a controlled height in a large feature pot, and can create a lovely focal point as well as give interest at a higher level. Be bold." She added that the number of plant varieties should be kept to a minimum.

Hottest home trends for 2025 Renovations expert Andy Simms, from revealed the hottest interior design trends for this year. COLOUR DRENCHING Colour drenching involves using your colour across walls and ceilings to maximise the impact and create the illusion of a bigger space - doors, radiators, and even furniture won't escape the paint job if you want the full effect. Brown, terracotta, beige - once the preserve of the 70s, earthy colours have been slowly gaining popularity. Similarly, bold greens and blues are also making a return, with the intention of colour drenching rooms. STATEMENT WALLPAPER Wallpaper divides designers, with some loving it and others preferring painted walls. 2025 will see a resurgence of wallpaper, and the bolder the better. For small spaces, such as downstairs loos or studies, choose a bold print and ignore any concerns about making the space look smaller. For larger spaces, consider a stunning mural theme. BROKEN LIVING PLAN Open plan living has been popular for over a decade now, but while it hasn't quite had its day, many are returning to smaller, functional spaces - with a twist. 'Broken plan' is when a bigger space is cut into various parts using screens, archways, crittal-style windows and doors or textured glass. Another commented: 'The essential oil of this is UNREAL by the way if anyone has an oil diffuser." "It's a really lovely option - I have the room spray," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Obsessed with tomato smells!" Someone else added: 'I agree!!! I have it in the house. It's so lovely."
