Equipment

• Sharp knife
• Chopping board
• Saucepan
• Slotted spoon
• Cooling rack
  • Tupperware box
  • Baking tray
• Baking tray

Serves 4 – 6

Ingredients

• Potatoes x 800g – 1kg
• Salt x 2 large pinches
• Goose fat x enough to cover the base of the baking tray

Method

• Peel and chop the potatoes into 1 inch pieces.
• Pour cold water into a large saucepan.
• Add a couple of pinches of salt to the water.
• Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into the water.
• Turn the pan onto a high heat on the hob and bring it to the boil.
• Turn the heat down and leave it simmer for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes pick a potato up with the fork if it falls off then it’s done.
• If it doesn’t fall from the fork leave for a further minutes and check again.
• When they are done use the slotted spoon to remove the potatoes from the boiling water and place onto the cooling rack with tray or a board underneath.
• Leave to cool until cold.
  • Last year I stored the cooked roast potatoes in the fridge overnight in a tupperware box.
• While the potatoes are cooling preheat the oven to 200°C or gas mark 5.
• Pour enough oil into the baking tray to cover the base.
• Place the baking tray into oven while it preheats.
• Once the potatoes are cold and the oven is preheated remove the baking tray.
• Put the potatoes into the tray and carefully toss in the hot oil.
• Place the tray into the oven for about 25 – 30 minutes or until the potatoes are a golden brown colour.
• Remove from the oven and serve with a roast of you choice.
• Then enjoy.
