Roast potatoes

[Minnie18]

Every Sunday I try and make roast potatoes and they never turn out properly. The bottom of the potatoes burn and they never turn out crispy and golden. Can anyone help?

Cheers Dibbers 🤗

Put a tray with small amount of goose fat and veg oil into a hot oven.

Par boil a pan of quartered spuds (Maris Piper is my choice) for 10 min. Drain. Shake with lid on til the edges smush up a bit. Put into tray of hot fat/oil turning them to coat. Put in hot oven for 20 min, turn them over, put in for another 20 min.

brown, crispy edges, fluffy middles.

Same but probably cook bit longer when roasting!

I am sooo jealous of your roast potatoes talent 😪 I am determined to keep trying. I will try your method today fingers crossed your success reaches my kitchen. I think I've maybe been using to much oil, boiling for to long and I have been boiling the pots whole.

I usually have my oven at 200 is this temp ok?

Thanks so much for all your kind help 💖💐

They always seem to take ages to cook for me usually an hour or over.

I tend to boil mine for 20 mins before putting in the hot oil - though I have to watch them as depending on the type of potato/time of year, some potatoes turn to mush if boiled too long. I find King Edwards during the autumn/winter to be best generally!

Maybe its the type of pot I am using. I buy Tesco own potatoes.
