The ‘potato queen’ made the ‘mouth watering’ dish as part of her festive TikTok series ’12 days of Christmas potatoes’. The crispy spuds are slow roasted and glazed with a concoction of honey, mustard and fresh garlic

‘I don’t know how I’m going to top these beauties. 100 per cent going to be on my Christmas dinner plate this year,’ the popular chef said when she uploaded her now viral TikTok.

To make the ‘mouth watering’ recipe, Poppy first made cuts almost all the way through each potato.

She then put the spuds onto a baking tray, drizzled oil all over and heavily sprinkled them with seasoning before roasting them for 30 to 40 minutes

After this the chef basted the potatoes with butter and returned them to the oven for a further 30 to 40 minutes.

In a pan she mixed honey, mustard and garlic, then cooked it slowly for five minutes until it bubbled.

She drizzled the mixture on the potatoes when they were done in the oven, then roasted them again for 15 minutes.
