Roast Potatoes.
If your roast potatoes aren’t crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, what’s the point?
10/10 roast potatoes.
Ingredients:
Maris Piper OR King Edward potatoes
150g of goose or duck fat
2-3 tablespoons on plain flour
Garlic cloves (crushed)
Rosemary and thyme (ideally fresh and chopped but dried is useable)
Salt and pepper
Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees
Peel potatoes and cut into quarters (all roughly the same size)
Boil the potatoes in salt water for 15/20 minutes (until soft but not mushy - check by stabbing gently with a knife)
Pour 150g of goose/duck fat onto a baking tray and put in the pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes
Drain the potatoes in a colander and shake so the outsides are fluffy. Then add the plain flour and shake once more.
The the baking tray out of the oven and pour the potatoes on the baking tray from the oven (they should sizzle in the fat)
Add a generous amount of salt, pepper, crushed garlic cloves, rosemary and thyme to the potatoes. Turn the potatoes over and repeat so they are coated before you put them in oven.
Roast the potatoes for an hour or so, turning every 20 minutes.
The potatoes should be a lovely golden brown by the time they’re done - enjoy!
