Method

Par-boil potatoes in salted water for 8 minutes until partially cooked.

Cool potatoes completely and scratch surfaces roughly with a fork.

Preheat 0.5cm of oil in a roasting tin until sizzling hot.

Carefully add potatoes to the hot oil and baste immediately to coat.

Roast for 45 minutes, turning at least once during the cooking process.

Increase heat if necessary to achieve desired browning and crispness.

Drain potatoes well and keep warm in an uncovered dish.

Season with salt and pepper immediately before serving.
