CRUNCHY AND FLUFFY ROAST POTATOES: A perfect roast potato needs to be
crunchy on the outside and fluffy in the center. The choice of fat is
up to you – olive oil, sunflower, goose fat or lard. To serve four,
peel 900g (2lb) floury potatoes and cut into chunks. Steam until tender,
then add 1tbsp flour (some swear by polenta) and shake them around to
give a fluffy surface. Heat a roasting tin with 2–3tbsp oil in a hot
oven (400ºF/200ºC), add the hot potatoes and coat in the fat. Sprinkle
with salt and roast until golden and crunchy, around 45 minutes.

Title: Cripsy RFoast Potatoes
Categories: Five, Potatoes
Yield: 8 servings
3 1/3 lb King Edward potatoes; peeled
3 tb Goose fat or sunflower oil
pn (ea) salt & pepper
Set the oven @ 190ºC/375°F/gas mark 5.
Cut the potatoes into large, even-sized pieces and place
in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for
10 minutes. Drain well and return to the pan. Shake then
heat for 1-2 minutes to dry them out a little.
Meanwhile, place the goose fat or sunflower oil in a
roasting tin and preheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes.
Carefully spoon the potatoes into the preheated tray of
really hot fat - it should sizzle as they go in. Gently
turn to coat and ensure that the potatoes are not too
close together. Too little room means steam can't escape
- and that means soggy roasties.
Cook for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown, turning
halfway through. Season and serve.
Serves: 8
