Perfect Roasties – serves 8
- 2kg roasting potatoes e.g. Maris Pipers or Roosters
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 5 tbsp goose fat
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks – a big potato should be quartered.
Put the potatoes into a large pan of salted water and boil for 5 minutes, then drain really well.
Return the potatoes to the pan and scatter over the flour and a little salt. Cover with the lid and shake the pan a few times to coat the potatoes in the flour and rough up the edges.
Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
Put the goose fat and oil in a large roasting tin and heat in the oven for 5 minutes. Tip in the potatoes and roll them around to coat them in the hot fat. Cook for half an hour, turning once, then turn the oven up to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for a further 20 minutes or until crispy. Season with some more salt before serving.
