FAQs
Can I make this dish vegan or vegetarian?
You can make a vegetarian version by omitting the pigs in blankets and substituting with vegetarian sausages or mushrooms. For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese and egg alternatives.
What’s the best way to crisp up leftover roast potatoes?
Frying the potatoes in a skillet with some butter or oil over medium-high heat helps them regain their crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure they brown evenly.
