Roasts are another one of those comfort food meals that are great on a cold day! Also, they are relatively easy to prepare! I grew up eating roasts with a meat, but this one does a pretty good job with flavour even without the meat and there is just something about eating the tender potatoes!

Stay warm and enjoy a comforting dish!
