Whilst they are boiling for 10 mins I put the roasting pan with oil into a hot oven. Quick shake, then roast for 30-40 mins on high. Twist of Himalayan salt once out of the oven.
Lovely and crunchy |

Yes that. I sometimes also sprinkle panko on them for extra crispiness. |

Yes, can see this. I use semolina and it's magic. |

Put fat/oil in oven on high
Par boil potatoes for 10 minutes in salted water
Drain and let steam for 5
Add salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary
Give a toss in the saucepan so the outsides start to break (makes them extra crispy)
In to the hot oil and baste the potatoes in the oil
Back in the oven on high for 40 minutes and turn potatoes over every 10 minutes.
Makes some of the best rosties I’ve made been doing this the last few years and are perfect every time
Thank me later

"Yes or actually more ofyen a bit of semolina will do. Ask Mary "
Nigella swears by tapioca flour. I do fine without.
The important thing is let the spuds rest and cool a while after parboiling. Let the steam escape, leaving super-fluffy edges that crisp up properly when roasting. |

No, Nigella's semolina...unless the hussy has more than one recipe! |

Boil them in heavily salted water while heating up beef fat (set aside from making mince another day) in the oven
Drain then toss around in pan to rough up edges
Sprinkle with salt, Pepper and garlic powder then put into the very hot fat tossing to coat all sides in the hot fat
Roar till done |

Roaring is an interesting way of getting them to be crispy 🤔🤭🤭 |

Choose your preferred potato. I like Maris pipers. Par boil in salted water until nearly cooked. Drain and give them a shake for fluffy edges. Heat up roasting tray.
I use a large bowl with olive oil and using spoons or tongs dip each potato in the olive oil so they’re evenly coated. Place on tray and season heavily with salt and pepper.
Half way through roasting I add an excessive amount of garlic cloves in a bit of olive oil to the potatoes. Roast until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Serve with gravy. |

Par boil
Drain
Shake the living fuck out of them
Leave to cool
Heat fat of choice (I use half butter/half olive oil)
Bang into oven
Shake halfway through.
My family love them.
Horrific confession - I don’t actually like roast potatoes. |

I tried Googling how the experts like to do their roasties:
Delia Smith: Parboil and roughen the edges before roasting in duck fat.
Heston Blumenthal: Triple cook before serving with fish eyes in liquid nitrogen.
Gregg Wallace: With my cock up your arse, phwoaaar! |
