Roast potatoes
Roast potatoes have to be fluffy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. These will then be the perfect sidekick to any roast dinner. For me, they are the main part of my dinner and if not perfect, they can actually ruin my dinner.
When are these potatoes good for?
These crunchy, fluffy potatoes are perfect alongside any roast dinner, mid-week dinner or even a BBQ. Or how about on their own, placed on kitchen roll with some salt sprinkled over the top and left to pick at whilst drinking a cold beer!
Roast potatoes
Ingredients
- White potatoes, peeled and quartered
- large pinch of salt
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil or duck fat (see top tip)
Instructions
- Add a pinch of salt to a pan of boiling water, add the potatoes and reduce the heat and boil 20mins.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180c, add the oil to a roasting dish and heat in an oven.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake a few times to make the potatoes edges slightly roughed up. Tip into the hot oil, roll over and cover each potato in oil and place in the oven for 60mins.
- Half way through cooking, turn the potatoes over.
- Once all crispy, serve immediately.

- Sunflower oil isn't recommended, I always find my potatoes burn
