Recipe:
Perfect Roast Potatoes
Ingredients:
1-2kg King Edward potatoes (or can use Maris piper or floury variations) – peeled/washed/remove any black, dark spots
150ml-200ml goose fat (or duck fat, beef dripping or vegetable oil)
Rosemary/Thyme
1 x large bulb of garlic
Salt to season
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 210c
2. Cut your potato into equal sizes, cutting extra edges onto the potato
3. Par-boil the potatoes in cold water +, 1 whole bulb of garlic seasoned with a lot of table salt, then turn down to a gentle simmer for approx 15-20 minutes or until your knife has just a little resistance in the middle.
4. CAREFULLY strain, keeping the garlic, and rough the potatoes to create those fluffy edges.
5. Leave to steam for at least 20 minutes or until cool. * You can freeze these at this point for another day*.
6. Add your roasting tray into the oven to pre-heat for 5 minutes with the fat to heat up.
7. Add the garlic, potatoes, herbs and season well with table salt, giving the potatoes a good turn in the hot fat to coat.
8. Roast on high heat for 1 hour, turning them halfway.
9. Discard any herbs, and serve straight away with the roasted garlic.

Loooove roasted potatoes! I do it the triple way, cook, fry in a pan, and then bake them in the oven. Will try your way next time! ❤
Got a good potato story… my father have lots of ex-wives, and one of them, Berit, her father loves her cooking, and one of the dishes is meatballs in brown gravy, served with potatoes and vegetables, and he always used to say that he would be satisfied with just potatoes and gravy… Yep, Berit made just potatoes and gravy next time he visited… 😂 He NEVER said anything else, except that she is an amazing cook. 😊 He got his meatballs… next time. 😂
Absolutely fantastic Elizabeth, thank you.😄😄😄
If you do not have potatoes with a low water content you will never get good roasties. Would take Maris Pipers over King Edward’s any day. If you are not sure about the potatoes you see, try pressing with your thumb. The right sort will be really firm and dense. Would definitely skip the garlic. Olive oil has a low burning temperature which is why you don’t use it. I only par boil a short time, drain, bash together with flour and then into hot oil and place in a hot oven
I always test the doneness of my potato with a cake tester. It is the best way to text the potato without splitting it.
Wow, what a great sheila……… Good tips too….
Thank you for pointing out how much a better choice either Duck fat/goose fat/tallow is than olive oil. My last attempt at roast potatoes was disappointing. I’m going to give it another try this weekend for a Friendsgiving Feast!
They look lush, I hadn't seen the tip about the cutting before. I do like to add some butter after the boil, but your tips are great, thanks:)
Goose fat eh.
Link to that glass pot????
I find your Essex accent kind of cool but difficult to follow.
Hi from Los Angeles, CA. Fabulous recipe! WOW! Will make them for my Christmas dinner for sure! Thank you.
Looks amazing!
So wonderful. Thank you very much !
I always use goose fat.
Excellent details on best roasted potatoes. Saving my beef dripping for future potatoes
I like the garlic tip that's a good one.
God bless you! The perfect Roasties, glorious!
Why would Brits have roasties on American Thanksgiving day ? WTF has it got to do with us ?
By the way, lovely fluffy Desiree are by far the best spuds for roasties, closely followed, in my opinion by, Albert Bartlett Rooster. Maris Piper are way too wet for roasting, needing eleven litres of water for every kilo grown. They’re great for mashing though. King Edwards are also wet in texture and unpleasantly fibrous . For the best roasties it’s Desiree all the way.
that was a ridiculous amount of salt – I would say it was the maximum for a week
Your roasting tin is far too deep.
Yum !
A half decent effort six out of ten
