My dear old Dad was ‘the king of roast dinners’ so my husband Howard and I, well mainly Howard, used to ask him a lot of questions. I remember Howard asking Dad how he made his roast potatoes so crispy. My Dad explained and ever since following my Dad’s advice we have had very crispy roast potatoes. In recent years I have been adding ingredients to make the potatoes tastier too. These roasties are the tastiest and crispiest potatoes you will ever eat. We love them and we hope you enjoy them too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

The Tastiest Roast Potatoes were so yummy. This is the best way we have found to cook roast potatoes. By roughing the edges of the potatoes it makes the outside crispy and the inside of the potato is soft and fluffy from the par-boiling. Plus adding the rosemary and garlic give the potatoes extra flavour. Nothing beats a crispy, flavoursome roast potato with dinner. However you decide to eat these potatoes, as always, please enjoy.
