Ingredients:
Olive oil
1 kg Potatoes
Method:
- Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks.
- Parboil in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain and toss in the pan to roughen the edges.
- Put a generous amount of olive oil in a roasting tin and put in a very hot oven, 220°C/425°F, until smoking.
- Carefully take the tin out of the oven and add the potatoes to the hot fat, basting them as you do so.
- Put the tin back in the oven and cook for about 1 hour until the roast potatoes are golden and crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle.
- Turn them over from time to time whilst they are cooking to make sure they colour on all sides.
