    Start by preparing the potatoes. Thoroughly rinse the potatoes and cut them into regular quarters. In a large salad bowl, mix together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and mix well to coat them evenly with the mixture. Place them on a baking tray covered with baking paper, then bake for around 30 minutes, turning them halfway through baking, until golden brown and crispy.

    Meanwhile, score the tops of the figs and the Epoisses cheese in a cross pattern. Arrange the figs in a small casserole dish. Season the Epoisses with freshly ground pepper. Add the pecans, seed mix and liquid honey. Bake the figs and cheese for around 15 minutes.
