Balsamic Roasted New Potatoes with Asparagus Recipe

The British asparagus season officially starts on 23rd April and lasts for a blissful 8 weeks.  We're more than a little obsessed with the exquisite green spears here at Attachment Towers, and eat it most days for as long as we possibly can.

Grab some when you can!  This lush combination of salty potatoes with subtly sweet asparagus is a treat, and very moreish.  Serve on its own with a grain or good bread, or as a side dish.
