Roast Potatoes
Ingredients
- Roasting Potatoes
- Sunflower or Olive oil
- Preheat oven to 200/220ºC
Method
1
Begin by spooning 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil in a baking tin and place in the oven to get hot. You don’t need the potatoes to be swimming in the oil but just need enough to coat the base of the baking tin.
2
Take the amount of potatoes you need, peel and cut into half. If they are large potatoes cut into half again. Parboil them for about 8 minutes until they are almost cooked, but still firm. Test with a knife. Drain, give them a slight shake to roughen the edges a little and leave to one side.
3
When the oil is nice and hot, spoon in the potatoes with a long handled spoon and turn them over to give a good coating of the hot oil. Allow at least 35 minutes for the potatoes to roast, turning them occasionally.
