The BEST Roast Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 1.5kg potatoes (Maris Piper or King Edward)
  • 100ml olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan).
  2. Peel and cut potatoes into large chunks, about 5cm pieces.
  3. Place in a large pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes until soft on the outside but firm in the middle.
  4. Drain and return to the pot. Shake the pot vigorously to rough up the edges of the potatoes.
  5. Heat oil in a large roasting tin in the oven for 5 minutes until very hot.
  6. Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil. Turn to coat all sides.
  7. Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
  8. Add garlic and rosemary for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  9. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
