Tremendous trimmings
Ingredients: Roast potatoes
- King Edward or Maris Piper potatoes (as many as you need)
- Cold-pressed rapeseed oil
Peel the potatoes and cut into the size you like.
Place in a saucepan of salted boiling water until they are just starting to go soft on the outside (usually about 10-12 minutes).
Pre-heat a roasting tray in the oven set to 200ºC/390ºF/gas mark 6 conventional or 180ºC/360ºF/gas mark 5 fan assisted.
Drain the potatoes into a bowl and allow the steam to drive off.
Pour a small amount of cold-pressed rapeseed oil over the potatoes and gently move them around until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Put the potatoes in the hot baking tray and roast for between 45-60 minutes, turning occasionally so they get roasted evenly and crisply on all sides.
When ready, place in a bowl and season with salt.
Note: if the potatoes are not browning and crisping up enough toward the end of the cook, simply increase the temperature by about 10ºC.
