This is my go to stuffing recipe, and honestly, it's so simple I make it all the time. The beauty of it is you probably have most of these ingredients in your kitchen already, which means minimal shopping and maximum flavour. Sage is wonderful for digestion and really brings this dish to life with its earthy, peppery notes. The whole thing comes together in just ten minutes of prep, then you can pop it in the oven and forget about it for three quarters of an hour. It's the kind of comforting side dish that makes any meal feel a bit more special.

After years of experimenting, I've finally cracked the code for roast potatoes that are impossibly crispy on the outside and fluffy within.

What I love most is how simple this really is: just potatoes, fat, flour, and salt. From prep to plate in just over an hour, you'll have restaurant quality results without any fuss.
