Redman in wales wrote:perfect roast potatoes anyone?
Most supermarkets stock the maris piper variety, they are the best for roasting as that are naturally soft and fluffy on the inside but go nice and crispy on the outside.
The best oil/fat to use is goose fat (as recently promoted by nigella lawson) but its not something all all have in our cupboards so veg oil or extra virgin olive oil is ok
ingredients
Maris Piper potatoes
salt
Goose fat or veg oil or extra virgin olive oil
garlic
rosemary
method
1)Peel as many potatoes as needed and boil them with a pince of salt for 6-8 minutes, so they are slightly soft on the outside, but still soid in the middle.
While you are waiting for the spuds to boil put some oil in a baking tray and put in the oven. The oil needs to be as hot as it can be before you pout the potatoes in.
2)Once potatoes are part-boiled, drain them in a colinder and shake them vigorously for 30 seconds to 'fluff' the outsides of the potato. Add 1 or 2 cloves of garlic (chopped) and a sprinkling of rosemary and shake.
3)Then add the potatoes to the hot oil/fat and put them in the oven for 40minutes, or untill fully cooked and crispy.
Turn them occasionally, roughly every 10-15mins.
perfect roasties
