Boil until soft, shake in colander and throw into a pan of hot oil turning occasionally

Kronchy on the outside and fluffy in the middle

Technically fried potatoes? But sounds good. Which oil?

Tom Kerridge recommends vegetable oil so you taste the spud not the oil. I flip between veggie oil, goose or duck fat and sometimes beef dripping if I roast beef.

Only ever preboil on full heat for a few minutes. Definitely not until soft. Once drained toss with butter to give good fat coating to help crisping. I never pre heat oil, it's roasting, not frying.

It’s roasting as it’s in a roasting tin inside the oven and not in a frying pan or deep fryer

Parboil. That's the riskiest bit. Usually about 10 mins. Hot goose fat, turn to coat. Whack in oven.

The quick way. Microwave steamer for 6.5 minutes. Put on metal tray (oil smear to stop sticking) and 190c on microwave fan oven function for 10 minutes. Turn over and another 10 minutes. Not the best but does the job. I also do the 'proper' way as mentioned in an earlier post if guests expected!

Parboil my potatoes until almost cooked; Drain of the water using a colander, then shake in the colander until the outsides are roughened.

Dazzle cooking oil & herbs on them, then Chuck them in the oven.

When you throw them into the colander, dust them with flour, adds to the crunchiness.

And get the oil VERY hot

Herbs really add to the taste of roasters

They're fiddly, but when I'm in the mood, I make hasselback style roasties with rosemary and garlic. Most scrumptious

Peel and parboil for 10 mins. Drain and fluff them by putting a lid on the pan and shaking them. Into the roasting tray which is full of goose fat that’s been heating in the oven. Tiny sprinkle of plain flower then into the oven and turning every 20 mins for even crispage.

Boil for 3 to 5 minutes, drain and let steam for a few minutes, then shake the pan to ruffle up the edges then into hot beef dripping in a roasting tray, 180cfan, turning and basting every 15 mins until desired cromchiness is achieved. Rawr.

An ex Irish Guardsman told me, years ago, that they cover them in marmite during the roasting...... It's different. Not bad, but definitely different!

Boil til soft. Sprinkle with flour to make them crispy, and season. Pour over some oil and bake in the oven. Perfection.
