Traditional
roast potatoes with modern attitude
To make perfect roast potatoes choose Sainsbury's heritage
breed Roasties - they really do make the best roast potatoes - use
3oz goose fat or lard for a traditional taste or 4 tablespoons
olive oil instead for a slightly different more modern taste.
You'll also need a solid-based shallow roasting tin. A 1kg bag
will serve 4 to 5 people depending on how hungry they are!
METHOD
1) Peel the potatoes and cut into even size
pieces. Place in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Par boil
for about 10mins until the outer edges are soft and fluffy.
2) Meanwhile put the fat/oil into the roasting tin
and place in an oven while it heats to 220°C.
3) Drain the potatoes and return them to the
saucepan and replace the lid and rough them up a bit. This step is
vitally important for crispy roasties and is recommended by most
expert cooks.
4) Pop the roughed up potatoes into the hot olive
fat/oil and mix them round a bit. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes.
5) Remove from the oven when they are crispy and
golden. Transfer to a heated serving dish and serve immediately. Do
not hang around with roast potatoes before serving as they will
lose their crispiness!
