To serve 4, you will need:

  • Sunflower oil
  • 6 medium sized potatoes, peeled
  • Salt to season

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.
     
  2. Cut your potatoes into thirds or quarters depending on how chunky you like your roasties.
     
  3. Put the potatoes into lightly salted water and parboil them for 10 minutes.
     
  4. Drain your spuds. Shake them up, either in the pan or in a colander so that the edges become rough.
     
  5. Pour a glug of oil into a roasting tray. Heat the oil on the hob until it’s really hot. Using caution, as the oil will spit, add the potatoes to the hot oil and then sprinkle with salt.
     
  6. Move the tray into the oven. Roast the spuds for 45 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Shake a few times during cooking time.
     
  7. Serve and enjoy!
