Course Side Dish
Cuisine British
Servings 4 people

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
