This recipe is the secret to crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside roast potatoes – essential for any Christmas dinner. Goose fat isn’t needed for the perfect potato, so this recipe is suitable for vegetarians too.
Serves 4-6.
Ingredients:
1kg potatoes
2 bulbs of garlic
Bunch of rosemary, plus extra to serve
Drizzle of olive oil
Butter for serving
Method:
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C.
Add the olive oil to a roasting tray and place in the oven to pre-heat the oil.
Peel and cut the potatoes into halves or thirds.
Parboil until you can just get a knife through the potato. Drain in a colander and shake the potatoes in the colander until you get a rough textured surface on the potatoes.
Cut 1cm off the top of the garlic bulbs to reveal the cloves.
Add the potatoes, sprigs of rosemary and garlic to the pre-heated roasting tray.
Roast for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and shake to ensure each potato gets an even golden brown coating and is exposed to the flavor of the garlic.
Cook for a further 30 minutes until you have golden and crispy potatoes.
Serve with butter and fresh rosemary.
