- Serves:
- 6 people
- Preparation Time:
- 5 minutes
- Cooking Time:
- 1 hour 15 minutes
- You Will Need
- 8 large floury potatoes
- 100 ml vegetable or olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 large saucepan
- 1 large roasting tin
- 1 peeler
- 1 fork
- Step 1:
-
Prepare the potatoes
- First, peel the potatoes. It's best to use a proper peeler as you will save a lot of the vegetable in comparison to using a knife.
- Step 2:
- Once you have peeled all of the potatoes cut them into egg-sized pieces.
- Step 3:
-
Boil the potatoes
- Gently, bring them to the boil and let them cook for about 8 minutes. Don't leave them to cook entirely.
- Step 4:
-
Drain the water
- Using the lid of the saucepan to stop the potatoes from falling out, drain the water away and let the potatoes cool completely.
- Step 5:
-
Prepare the roasting tin
- Meanwhile, pour enough oil into the roasting tin so that the bottom is covered and place it onto a high tray in the oven to heat thoroughly.
- Step 6:
-
Heat the oven
- Set the oven to 250ºC or gas mark 7 and begin to heat the oil.
- Step 7:
-
Scratch the potatoes
- Once cooled, scratch the surface of the potatoes with a fork.
- Step 8:
-
Add the potatoes
- When you see that the oil is sizzling hot, place the potatoes into the roasting tin. Turn them over in the oil to make sure they are covered before cooking.
- Step 9:
-
Leave the potatoes to cook
- Allow the potatoes to cook for 50-60 minutes. About halfway through the time, turn them over to make sure all sides get a crispy finish.
- Step 10:
-
Check the potatoes
- After the time is up, take a look to see what colour the potatoes are. They should end up a golden-brown, be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
- Step 11:
-
Drain well and serve up
- Remove the roast potatoes from the tin making sure that they don't carry too much oil and you're ready to serve up. Add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!
