PERFECT TRADITIONALLY ENGLISH ROAST POTATOES
These are your standard traditional English roasties. IMO there is an art to making these, at least the perfect golden crispy kind that I grew up with. The trick is to give 'em a good shake in a colander after par-boiling to rough up the edges of the potatoes. Then once roasting; position spaced apart, turning only once or twice and basting in the hot oil every so often. If you don't manage the crispy texture (which you will, if you do the above!), they'll still taste excellent. You can't go wrong. I sometimes like to sprinkle rosemary/paprika/thyme or even a little garlic on top of mine for extra flavour.

Steps:
- Peel and quarter potatoes.
- Place in a saucepan with water and a pinch of the salt.
- Bring to a boil and simmer them for 5-6 mins to slightly soften.
- Meanwhile preheat your oven to 400°F.
- When the potatoes have simmered drain them thoroughly in a colander shaking to roughen edges.
- Let sit for a few mins to dry.
- Pour just enough vegetable oil into a roasting pan (large enough to allow space around the potatoes) to cover bottom and heat in oven for a few minutes.
- Gently place potatoes into the hot oil and coat them with it evenly.
- Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the potatoes.
- Every so often baste the potatoes in the oil to prevent drying (try not to move potatoes).
- Turn potatoes once or twice (no more) halfway through (after 20 mins or so) to ensure even cooking.
- Cook for 30-60 mins until gold and crispy (observe closely once near end).

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Add the oil to a large flameproof baking tray and put in the oven for the oil to heat up.
- Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, tip in the potatoes and the peelings (to impart extra flavour) and simmer for 8-10 mins. Drain the potatoes and discard the peelings. Leave to steam-dry for 15 mins, then return the potatoes to the pan, put the lid on and gently shake to lightly rough up the edges.
- Remove the tray from the oven and put directly on your hob over a medium heat. Add the butter to the hot oil and, using tongs, add the potatoes to the tray, one by one, carefully turning them in the fat, and leaving a little space between them. Reduce the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Nestle the lemon thyme in amongst the potatoes, along with the garlic. Sprinkle over the sea salt and return to the oven to roast for 1 hr, turning every once in a while, until golden and crisp.

CLASSIC ROAST POTATOES
Roast potatoes are a weekly institution in most British families and households. When it's time for that Sunday lunch, it's time for roast potatoes. For the very best results it's important to use the right potato. Almost any potato will roast, but if you love that crispy edge with a light, fluffy and creamy interior, then floury potatoes are what's needed. To achieve the right finish, these potatoes will take at least 1 hour to cook; for extreme crispiness, cook for 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Peel the potatoes and halve lengthways.
- Place in a saucepan and cover with cold, salted water.
- Bring to the boil and then simmer for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Drain in a colander and leave to stand for 2 to 3 minutes before shaking the colander gently.
- This will begin to break down the edge of the potatoes.
- These slightly rough edges will become crisp and crunchy during the roasting.
- Heat a frying pan with 1/4 inch of oil or melted lard.
- Once it's hot, the potatoes can be lightly rolled in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Fry the potatoes in the oil, turning occasionally until completely golden brown.
- Now transfer the potatoes to a roasting pan.
- Pour some of the cooking oil into the pan (approx. 1/8 inch deep), sprinkle the potatoes with salt and roast in the oven for 30 minutes before turning in the pan.
- Roast for another 30 minutes.
- Remove the crispy roast potatoes from the pan and serve.
- A knob of butter can be melted over the potatoes to enrich the crispy roast taste.
- For an ultra-crispy finish, increase the cooking time to 1 1/2 hours, turning the potatoes in the pan halfway through.

Steps:
- Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoes in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Peel 1kg potatoes and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 if smaller (5cm pieces).
- Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enough water to barely cover them.
- Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put your timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2 mins.
- Meanwhile, put 100g duck or goose fat or 100ml olive oil into the hot roasting tin and heat it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander then shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up the outsides.
- Sprinkle with 2 tsp flour and give another shake or two so they are evenly and thinly coated.
- Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat - they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they are coated all over.
- Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plenty of room.
- Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven and turn them over.
- Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Put them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes to get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which is what you want.
- Scatter with Maldon salt and serve straight away.

- Add the potatoes to a large pan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. When boiling, add a good pinch of salt.
- Gently simmer for 15-20 minutes. They are done when a sharp knife easily inserts into one of the potatoes.
- Drain into a colander and shake them around too ‘rough’ up the surface, but not much that they break apart. Transfer them onto a baking cooling rack in an even layer to dry them out, about 10 minutes.
