The Best Roast Potatoes
Ingredient
1 kg Potatoes (e.g. Rooster or Kerr Pinks)
3 tbsp Glasson Farm Rapeseed Oil
Salt & Pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C/Gas Mark 6. Place the roasting tin in the oven to heat.
- Peel and halve the potatoes. Place in a large pan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the Bath Harvest Rapeseed Oil to the hot roasting tin and return to the oven for a 2 minutes to re-heat.
- Drain the par-boiled potatoes in a colander. Tip back into pan with lid on and allow to steam-dry for 2 minutes. Toss about to give them fluffy-coarse edges.
- Tip the potatoes into the roasting tray and turn to coat in oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 40 mins – 1 hour, turning and basting every 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
