Perfect roast potatoes

[Jessywoohoo]

I am doing to potatoes for this years Christmas dinner at my mums, was just wondering how you all make yours, I'm no roast expert!!

I try to use Maris Piper but it depends on time of year?

Peel, 1/4 and parboil pot's until edges are fluffy in salted water. I'd use roughly x2 pot's per person.

In the meantime heat up oil in roasting tray in oven (I use vegetable oil but you can use most oils - not olive oil though! Or you can use lard or goosefat?).

Once pot's are parboiled then drain them and put them in roasting tray, as the oil is so hot you'll hear pot's start to sizzle when you add them.

Cook until brown on outside, I like to really crisp mine up so I cook them a bit longer

I peel, parboil, then shake them in the colander to rough them up a bit and sprinkle some flour over to help the outsides go really crispy. Then heat the roasting pan on the hob (orr in oven) with some frylight/oil/goose fat (depends on occasion) then put them the pan so they sizzle, turn them so there well coated in fat (or spritz top with frylight) and hen bung in the oven until they look so yummy I can't wait any longer
It's not the easiest way, but for me the yummiest, you can also sprinkle some herbs/spices/seasonings over them before you put them in the oven if you fancy something different xx

We cook ours in the meat fat with chopped up bacon it adds so much flavour
