Roasties are hands-down the best part of a roast dinner. These are fluffy on the inside with a crunchy outside!
Ingredients
Potatoes, Raw
1500 g, red skinned
Olive Oil
3 tablespoon(s)
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas mark 7. Peel and halve 1.5kg Desirée potatoes, then put in a large pan and cover with cold water.
2
Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Return the potatoes to the pan and set over a low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until any remaining water has evaporated. Cover with the lid and shake the pan to ‘rough up’ the surface of the potatoes.
3
Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil over the base of a large baking dish then heat in the oven for 5 minutes.
4
Add the potatoes to the dish and, using tongs, turn to coat in the hot oil. Roast for 1 hour 15 minutes or until crisp and golden. Season and serve.
