Roast Potato Recipe!
Who can resist a fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside, golden wonder of a roast potato?! Serve them with a roast… serve them part of a picky sharing platter… serve them with salad and a jumble of spiced roast veggies… or simply serve them in a bowl alongside your favourite dip!
This is the best method we know to cook to perfect roast spud - the key is to let the potatoes go completely cold after part boiling. We won't bore you with the science of why it works - just trust us and see for yourself!
Ingredients:
1-2 large to medium sized potatoes per person
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil or coconut oil
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c / 350 f / gas mark 4.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them in half or into 3 depending on their size.
3. Put the potatoes in a large pan of fresh water then place the pan on a high heat.
4. Bring the potatoes to the boil then allow them to bubble away for 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Drain the potatoes in a colander then pop them back in the pan with the lid on and give them careful shake up & down to roughen the edges ( please do this carefully )
6. This bit is important! Allow your potatoes to go cold - either leave the on the window ledge by an open window or pop them in the fridge - whatever it takes!
7. Drizzle a good glug of olive oil or melted coconut oil, add a good pinch of sea salt into a large roasting tray then scatter in the potatoes.
8. Gently scatter the potatoes into the roasting tray and give them a little shuffle and a tumble in the tray coating them in the oil.
7. Place the tray in the hot oven and allow them to roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour until they turn golden and crunchy!
8. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper ...... and ENJOY !
Roast potatoes are so versatile - play around with different seasonings to suit the other dishes your serving, such smoked paprika & chilli… lemon wedges & thyme… wedges of red onion and a splash of balsamic vinegar… the possibilities are endless!
Enjoy!
