I always use King Edwards. Par boil for 7 minutes. Drain, dry off and give a really good shake in the pan to rough up the edges.

Heat oven to 220, put a tray in with some veg or sunflower oil in. Once smoking (you may need to put on the cooker ring) pop potatoes in, turn to make sure all coated. Pop in oven, turn after 15/20 mins, give another 15/20 mins and that's them done.

I've tried other potatoes but find KE are the best. I can never find them in Tesco but Morrisons usually have them.

Took me about a year to master the method! You'll get there in the end. All great advice on here

I've never managed to do a nice roastie. So now I just do Oxo roasties and even though the top is still not well roasted, they taste yummy.
Perhaps I'll try the flour method.

My tried and tested method is:

Heat goose fat in a roasting dish. About 180 degrees.

King Edward potatoes. Parboiled for 8-10mins. Drain and shake in colander and then (v important) leave them sat in the colander for a few mins to ‘dry out’. The fluffy outside will go pale and dry looking.

Once at this stage, chuck spuds in the hot oil. Gently turn them over so they are covered in oil, then in the oven. Turn after 30 mins. When you think they are done, leave them another 5 mins!

My tried and tested recipe.

Always Maris piper and par boiled for around 8 minutes after having been peeled and halved/quartered so that they have edges. These are boiled n salted water.

Take them out and put them in a colander, 5 or 6 bits at a time and swung around in circles, causing the edges to break away and fluff up.

Place potatoes in a baking tray with hot olive oil, peppering them and then frequently turning and spraying with further, spray light olive oil. Oven on at 180' C

When they are at the goldenness and crispness that you desire, take the heat right off and hold on a much lower temp until the rest of the meal catches up.

There has never been any fat or lard in my kitchen, only olive oil! I often use Roasted potatoes, cooked in this way when hosting dinner parties. They go well with Pork fillet with Rhubarb and many other, strong tasting dishes.

So. Parboiling. Do you put the potatoes in cold water and time from when the water starts to boil or put in to boiling water?
