I like lots of recipes to be quite simple and for my roast potatoes, I usually use this basic method to make mine and sometimes just throw some extra spices or citrussy flavours into it. Â Everyone has their own roast potatoes recipes so this is just a guide to making the basic potatoes without any fanfare or fancy cooking.
Anyone can make roast potatoes without a deep fat fryer and I prefer mine done in the oven to how my mum used to make them. Â I made roasties for new years day and to be honest, if I’d known when I was younger, how easy they were to make, I’d probably never have bought pre-made ones back then.
Simple Home Made Roast Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 5 kg Potatoes For Roasting Peeled and Chopped into Quarters
- 100 g Goose Fat
- Salt
Instructions
- Par boil potatoes for 5 - 10 minutes with a little salt in boiling water.
- Line a tray with foil and put the goosefat into the oven to melt.
- When the potatoes are ready, pop them into the tray of melted goosefat and pop them in the oven at around 200 - 220C for 10 minutes. Don't turn them over at this point or they may smush up.
- Take them out of the oven, turn the potatoes over to coat the goosefat over all the potatoes and put them back in the oven for a further 30 minutes.
- Take them out again, give them a shake and then return them to the oven for another 10 minutes. If you like them as crispy as we do, then just keep them in for a little longer.
