You are going to just LOVE how easy this festive platter is to throw together!

Step One - preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6 - grab our super handy oven temperature conversion chart here to keep in the kitchen

Step Two - parboil the potatoes

Firstly parboil the potatoes - put the potatoes into a pan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt. Bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat and cook with the lid on for around 5 minutes.

Step Three - make the roast potatoes

Drain the parboiled potatoes and return to the pan. Pour the olive oil, butter, dried rosemary, pinch of salt and black pepper, and dried stuffing mix onto the potatoes. Shake the pan to melt the butter and coat the hot potatoes in the oils and seasonings.
Tip the potatoes into a roasting tin and roast at 200C for around 35 minutes. Give the tin a shake a couple of times whilst they roast, so that they crisp up evenly.

Step Four - cook the pigs in blankets and Yorkshire puddings

Put the pigs in blankets into the oven and cook as per the packet instructions (our Aldi pigs in blankets were cooked at 200C for 35 minutes) For the last 6 minutes of cooking time put the Yorkshire puddings in the oven to heat through.

Step Five - make the gravy

Make up the gravy using the granules - just follow the packet instructions.

Step Six - put the pigs in blankets platter together

Then arrange the pigs in blankets platter - pile the roast potatoes, pigs in blankets and Yorkshire puddings onto a platter around a jug of gravy. Pop the cranberry sauce on the side. And dig in!
