Usually the mrs does all the cooking, but as she has to go to work today, it's been left in my hands, so, any tips on how to cook some kick ass roasties?

Yes par boil and shake pan to roughen edges then tip into a roasting pan of smoking hot goose fat, coat the spuds then sprinkle with dried semolina and salt.

Best crunchy roasties ever!!!

I just boil them for 10 mins, drain them leave them to dry out a bit, fluff them up in a collander and then cover them in fry light.. really hot oven.

Boring but a healthier option

Yes I was told to use the fry light due the her dietary requirements

If using fry light then sprinkle with paprika or a crumbled oxo for taste

Semolina tip works if you use fry light also.. if mrs mally is doing the slimming world diet its 2.5syns for 25g of semolina

if she's not just ignore that lol.. i tend to re spray my spuds a few times and turn them around to get a gorgeous colour on them

Fry Light gets used whenever anything goes in the pan, even eggs, it is indeed the healthier option but you have to be a bit more creative with the flavouring

Not sure how it would work in fry light with no real liquid to transfer the flavours but I usually roast mine in a tray with whole bits of garlic (white papery rubbish removed obviously) and an arse load or fresh rosemary. Bit of salt and pepper and maybe a touch of lemon juice depending on the meat. Pork fat if you have any but sunflower oil works fine.

Dunno if this is cheating but I boil spuds as I would for mash then pick a few out, give them a bit of a shake in another pan then fry em in a small pan of beef dripping until they are golden brown..

Well I feed Alex plenty of the stuff - can't be that bad for you! What I do is buy the rolls of crackling rind at morrisons when they're reduced and bake the fat off them. Can't beat it!

If they're roughed up a bit the oil 'sticks' to them better, effectively makes them porous. Means they cook in the oil all over rather than having dry patches. Can be overdone though, if they're too rough they soak up too much oil.

A metal sieve is what I tend to use.

I do my own take on roasties by using new potatoes (skin on)

Cut em in half, par boil them

Then empty the water out of the pan and sprinkle with extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, sea salt and dried rosemary

Give 'em a good shake and empty out on to a baking tray.

Lovely crispy crunchy bite size morsels and cos they're diddy, they're don't take long to crisp up either

The key is HOT oil. Put the roasting tin with a good helping of vegetable oil in the oven on high heat when you put the spuds on to boil. Boil the spuds for ten minutes and then drain them off and give them a good shake in the saucepan/colinder (but put a cover over them or they'll fly off everywhere. This will fluff them up but be careful not to overdo it or they'll break up completely.

Now pour them into the hot oil and spoon the oil over the top of them, this helps to seal them. Turn the heat down to 190C and roast for 45 mins turning them halfway through.

If you can get hold of some Maggi Liquid Seasoning (Tesco's £1) then sprinkle that over the spuds when you put them in the oil for a real kickass bite to them.
