I love a good roast potato.

If I'm not doing a roast chicken, I do what everyone else has said. But if I'm roasting a chicken I don't par boil, I just add them to the roasting tray and they still come out perfect.

I want some now.

Oh I love roast potatoes there the perfect winter warmer comfort food.

Actifry it’s for making chips and you put potatoes in then your oil. Supposed to be healthier but then it makes nice food so end up eating more 🙊
Used to do roasts in oven. Par boil then wack them in with butter on instead of oil. Always seemed to work for me but didn’t do it often

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.

This is how I do mine too but I also leave in oven for slightly longer

I use the bash about method but I noticed Nadiya added bicarb to hers on her TV show.
Anyone tried that?

The best crunchy roast potatoes of all time. Par boil for 8-10 mins, add one cup of flour and shake with the lid on. Cook in hot fat in the oven , turn a couple of times. They are super crunchy and much better than just putting in the oven without the flour. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
FYI if you like to prepare the day before, stop after you have added the flour and they can be kept for the next day and are ready for the oven. (I do this at Xmas when I have lots to do).They do not go black, just in case you were wondering.

I only use Roosters potatoes when doing roasties. Par boil until just soft. Drain REALLY well. Return to pan, add salt, pepper and a couple of spoonfuls of flour. Shake about to really rough up the edges. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a non stick roasting pan then add the potatoes and coat them in the oil. Add a few leaves of sage to the oil also. Always come out perfect and really tasty.
