Boil for 5 mins.

Drain and leave to steam for 5 minutes

Shake up in a pan to fluff them up

Add to a tray of COLD oil and rosemary. Roast for 50 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn them over and press down on them with a fork. Makes them extra crispy and amazing!

Tray in the oven with vegetable oil to heat up. Par boil for 8 minutes (depends how big your potatoes are) leave them to steam off for a few minutes. Shake em up so the edges are fluffy

I then remove the oil and pour over the potatoes in a pan. That way you get just the right coating of oil. Shake em up once more. Season with maldon salt and pepper. Place back onto the hot tray making sure they are spread out and not touching.

Then roast until crispy occasionally turning.

Par boil. Drain. Give them a good shoogle to rough up the outside & let them a rest to let them dry out a bit. Season with salt & pepper. . Get your fat spitting hot (ideally I use dripping or goose fat, but my chef friend swears by lard). Roast them for about 40 minutes, turning regularly.

They must be King Edwards. Par boil, but not for to long. Swirl them round a colander to rough them up. Into a tray of hot oil. The rest is easy enough

Oh I forgot after peeling I also soak them in water for a bit to remove some of the starch! Usually just 30 mins is enough

Recently with a leg of lamb I roasted it just resting on the wire rack with a tray the level down catching the fat and oil from the meat. I then added my par boiled potatoes to that tray and they tasted so good.

I don’t like it when too many flavours are added. I just like crispy/fluffy potato tasting roast potatoes haha. Anyone else?

I like the flavour in my meat and gravy

Oo yes roughing them up makes a difference, and then when you turn them and baste them again lightly squash them down. Maris piper potatoes as well.

This sounds great and I often do baby potatoes this way. Love rosemary and garlic combination.

I tend to use Maris pipers.

Par boil till edges become soft then turn if heat and place potatoes in a Culender covered with a tea towel and rest on the pot you boiled them in to allow to cool and dry out.

As mentioned above place in a pan of hot duck fat with rosemary garlic thyme and roughly chopped white onions. Cook at 180 fan until cooked to your liking turning now and then.

Then sprinkle with rock salt as soon as they come out of the oven.

“ A dusting of semolina flour Before going into the oven gives a crunchy texture “.

Worthing

Parboil potatoes(Maris Piper are the best for roasties) for a few minutes. Shake to roughen them up. Coat in oil and roast until golden brown turning half way through.

Peel, chop/cut to medium-large size, soak in cold water for an hour or so. Drain, refill with cold water, add salt, bring to boil, then simmer for approximately 10 minutes. Drain, add seasoning to taste, add to pre heated fat/oil, (I prefer goose fat), in oven for approximately 40 mins, turning occasionally till crispy till your liking
