ROAST POTATOES

ROAST POTATOES

Roast potatoes - arguably the most important part of any roast dinner, be it Christmas dinner or the Sunday Roast, the perfect roastie is what every cook wants. Here I show you the proper way to make lush crispy roast potatoes which are light and fluffy on the inside. Most probably a slightly different way to what you have seen before, but believe me, once you have done them tis way - there is no going back! Remember to let the potatoes dry after boiling.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 4

6 medium/ large peeled potatoes cut into equal sizes (ideally red duke or maris pipers)

200ml vegetable oil

salt flakes

METHOD

1: Add the potatoes to a large pan of salted simmering water and continue to poach for 10 to 15 minutes.

2: Once the potatoes are cooked, lift out of the pan with a slotted spoon and leave them to air dry on a cooling wire.

3: Whilst the potatoes are cooling, add the oil to a large roasting tray and pre heat the oven to 200°c.

4: Place the tray into the oven for the oil to heat up.

5: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes.

6: Put the tray back in to the oven and roast for a good 25 minutes before turning.

7: Then cook for another 20 minutes until golden and crispy.

8: Once cooked remove from the tray and season with flaky salt.
