Pin Recipe Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large white potatoes – peeled and chopped into 2-3 pieces each, all roughly the same size
- Roughly 100-150ml rapeseed oil – it should be around 1-2cm deep in your roasting dish
- 1 tsp Salt (we use pink himalayan salt)
Instructions
- Par-boil the potatoes for 8 minutes in a pan
- Drain the potatoes into a big colander
- Shake the potatoes in the colander for around 1 minute, until parts of the potatoes start to flake off and they look a bit 'fluffy'
- Pour the oil into the roasting dish and heat on gas mark 5 for 8 minutes
- Once the oil is hot carefully put the potatoes into the roasting dish, making sure they all get a good coating of oil and then generously add salt
- Roast for 20 minutes in the middle shelf of the oven
- After 20 minutes take them out and turn them over, then put back in the oven for another 20 minutes
- Depending on your oven they may be done at this point – they should be golden and crispy. Put them in for longer if necessary.

Hey Nicki! Thanks so much for the feedback 🙂 Roughing the potatoes up in a colander really makes a difference, doesn't it? Dan x
