PERFECT TRADITIONALLY ENGLISH ROAST POTATOES
These are your standard traditional English roasties. IMO there is an art to making these, at least the perfect golden crispy kind that I grew up with. The trick is to give 'em a good shake in a colander after par-boiling to rough up the edges of the potatoes. Then once roasting; position spaced apart, turning only once or twice and basting in the hot oil every so often. If you don't manage the crispy texture (which you will, if you do the above!), they'll still taste excellent. You can't go wrong. I sometimes like to sprinkle rosemary/paprika/thyme or even a little garlic on top of mine for extra flavour.

Steps:
- Peel and quarter potatoes.
- Place in a saucepan with water and a pinch of the salt.
- Bring to a boil and simmer them for 5-6 mins to slightly soften.
- Meanwhile preheat your oven to 400°F.
- When the potatoes have simmered drain them thoroughly in a colander shaking to roughen edges.
- Let sit for a few mins to dry.
- Pour just enough vegetable oil into a roasting pan (large enough to allow space around the potatoes) to cover bottom and heat in oven for a few minutes.
- Gently place potatoes into the hot oil and coat them with it evenly.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the potatoes.
- Every so often baste the potatoes in the oil to prevent drying (try not to move potatoes).
- Turn potatoes once or twice (no more) halfway through (after 20 mins or so) to ensure even cooking.
- Cook for 30-60 mins until gold and crispy (observe closely once near end).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the potatoes, bring back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes, place them back in the pot with the lid on, and shake the pot roughly for about 5 seconds. Carefully spoon the potatoes onto a baking rack set over a sheet pan in one layer. Set the potatoes aside to cool and dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pour the oil into a large roasting pan, tilt the pan to distribute the oil, and place in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the oil is smoking hot. Transfer the potatoes carefully into the oil, toss them lightly to coat each potato with the hot oil, and spread in one layer. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning the potatoes occasionally with tongs, until very browned and crisp on the outside and tender and creamy inside.
- Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons sea salt and serve hot.

- Preheat your oven to 400F/200C.
- Bring large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into lime-sized pieces.
- Boil the potatoes for about 7 minutes until the edges just start to look crumble-y. and rough. You can boil the potatoes for up to 30 minutes if you want extra creamy potatoes.

Steps:
- Add the potatoes to a large pan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. When boiling, add a good pinch of salt.
- Gently simmer for 15-20 minutes. They are done when a sharp knife easily inserts into one of the potatoes.
- Drain into a colander and shake them around too 'rough' up the surface, but not much that they break apart. Transfer them onto a baking cooling rack in an even layer to dry them out, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C.
- To a high-sided roasting pan, add a thick, even layer of vegetable oil and place the pan in the oven to heat up the oil for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the pan and place the potato chunks in the oil in an even layer with a little space between them. Return the pan back to the oven for 30-40 minutes. Turn the potatoes every 15 minutes so they are evenly brown and crisp all over. Sprinkle with a light amount of salt while still warm.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings.

Steps:
- Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
- Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
- Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
- Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
- Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
- Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
- Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
- Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

Steps:
- The day before, tip the potatoes into a large pan of salted water and simmer for 10 mins or until just tender, saving a little of the cooking water. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to cool. Now here's the trick; choose the two chunks that are most cooked and ready for mashing and push these through a potato ricer, then add a little of the cooking water to make a thick potato batter. Roll the cooled potatoes through the batter then put in the fridge on a tray lined with non-stick paper and chill overnight.
- The next day, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Take a large roasting tin and add a good splash of vegetable oil. Place in the oven and heat for a few minutes, then carefully add the potatoes to the hot fat and turn to coat. Lightly season with salt and roast for 40 mins without disturbing, then turn the potatoes and turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 8 and continue to roast the potatoes for another 20-30 mins, turning again once, until beautifully crisp and golden all over.

PERFECT ROASTIES - ROAST POTATOES FOR ENGLISH SUNDAY LUNCH
There can be nothing more comforting then a pile of golden, crispy, crunchy roast potatoes! Roasties, as we call them in Great Britain, are traditionally served with Sunday Lunch - but, DON'T wait until Sunday to serve them, they are great with just about everything! I remember going to our local pub in North Yorkshire, and if the visiting darts team was playing, half way through the evening the landlady would come around with trays upon trays of crunchy, piping hot roasties - sprinkled with salt--unbelievably sublime! The secret to making perfect roast potatoes is simple; par-boil them first and give them a really good shake in the pan before placing them into SIZZLING HOT fat and turning them over. Serve them piping hot and crisp from the oven with lashings of gravy and sea salt, and they are a meal in themselves. Ingredient quantities are not by weight, but by potatoes per head - and a VERY generous amount as well! Please adjust the quantities to your suit own requirements.

Steps:
- Par-boil the potatoes first.
- Once they are peeled and cut into similar sizes (small potatoes in two, large ones in four), put the potatoes into cold, salted water and bring to the boil. As soon as they start boiling, boil for about 5 to 6 minutes, then drain all the water off (keeping some for the gravy later), let some of the steam evaporate off, then put the lid on securely and shake the potatoes in the pan until the edges are roughened and fluffed up.
- Add the flour and shake again, to coat all the potatoes in a thin coating of flour. This is what will absorb the hot oil to make a crisp surface as the potatoes roast. Leave the lid off now so they dry a little until the oil is ready.
- Heat the oil first.
- In a roasting pan, that is large enough to take the potatoes in a single layer, put enough vegetable oil, duck fat or goose fat to cover the bottom with ease. The potatoes mustn't be bathed in the oil, so keep it less than ½ cm or ¼ inch deep.
- Put the tray into the hot oven (200°C/400°F) for 10 minutes before the potatoes need to go inches Once the oil is smoking hot, put the potatoes in so they sizzle and turn them around so they are all coated in the hot fat/oil, then return the tray to the oven to roast. The potatoes can be turned two or three times during cooking.
- Timing.
- The potatoes need to stay in the hot oven until the very last minute when you are ready to serve lunch. If they hang around keeping warm they lose their crisp edge and gradually dwindle into leathery bullets. They need 1 ¼ to 1 ½ hours at 200°C/400°F to reach optimum crispiness. Time the meat to be ready 10 minutes before them, so it can rest, you can make the gravy and summon the troops to table, and only then produce the potatoes still sizzling from the oven, and sprinkled with freshly milled sea salt.
- (If people are late in arriving for lunch, the potatoes can take another 10-15 minutes getting even more crispy in the oven, but after that I'd just get on and eat them without the latecomers!).
- Roasting tin.
- I get the crispiest results from my enamel roasting tins. Pyrex or glass trays result in softer, less crispy potatoes. Metal trays are also excellent for roasting potatoes.
- Temperature.
- Keep the hottest part of the oven for the potatoes. Juggling the roast meat, roast potatoes and everything in a small oven is tricky but the potatoes will only get crisp if they can roast in blazing heat for a while. If all else fails, when the meat comes out, turn the oven up to the highest heat and put the potatoes on the top shelf for a blasting. Last on the list of emergency remedies, put them under a hot grill (broiler) for the last five minutes while you are getting the table ready.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Peel the potatoes and cut in half; if very large, cut into quarters, or leave whole if they are small. Tip into a saucepan, cover with cold water, then bring to the boil. Set the timer and boil for exactly 2 mins. Drain the potatoes well, then toss in the colander to fluff up their surfaces, sprinkling over the flour as you go.
- Place a large, sturdy roasting tray over a fairly high heat, then tip in the fat and oil. When sizzling, lower in the potatoes carefully, then gently brown in the hot fat for about 5 mins so all the sides are covered with oil.
- Roast undisturbed for 20 mins, then remove from the oven and gently turn them over with a fish slice. Place the tray on the hob to heat the oil, then return to the oven and cook for another 20 mins. Turn again, putting the tray back on the hob to heat the oil. Give them a final 20 mins in the oven, by which time you should have perfect roast potatoes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to the hottest possible temperature.
- Peel the potatoes, and cut each into 3 by cutting off each end at a slant so that you are left with a wedge or triangle in the middle.
- Place the potatoes into salted cold water in a saucepan, and bring them to a boil. Boil the potatoes for 4 minutes. Drain the excess water from the potatoes using a colander and then tip the potatoes back into the empty saucepan.
- Sprinkle the semolina over the top of the potatoes. Hold a lid firmly on top of the pan and shake the potatoes around to coat them well and so that their edges disintegrate or fuzz and blur a little: this facilitates the crunch effect later.
- Place the goose fat into a large roasting tin and heat in the oven until very hot. Then carefully place the semolina-coated potatoes into the hot fat and roast the potatoes in the oven for 45 minutes to an hour or until they are darkly golden and crisp, turning them over halfway through cooking. If the oven is hot enough they probably will not need more than about 25 minutes a side; and it's better to let them sit in the oven (you can always pour off most of the fat and leave them in the tin) until the very last minute.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes and cut to preferred size (quarters work well). Put fat or oil into a heavy roasting pan, then into the oven where your joint is roasting, 190 degrees Celsius, until fat is very hot (at least 10 mins). Parboil potatoes for 5-7 mins in boiling water (salted if you wish) until potatoes are soft on the outside, but not cooked through. Drain well, reserving liquor for gravy later if you like. Return potatoes to empty saucepan, put lid on, shake vigorously until outside of potatoes are slightly broken up. This gives the extra yummy, super crunchy outside.
- Bring roasting tin out of the oven, and put on hot stove top to keep oil piping hot (or work really fast!). Pop potatoes into roasting pan, and coat in hot fat.
- Sprinkle with salt if you wish.
- Return to oven and cook for 40 mins or so, turning at least once, until potatoes are golden and very crispy.
- Yum!
