Equipment

  • Baking trays

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 kg Maris piper potatoes
  • Salt
  • Oil Rapeseed oil

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop the potatoes into even bite-sized pieces, I normally like to cut mine into quarters
  • In a large pot bring some water to the boil and add in 1 tsp of salt then parboil the potatoes for around 10 minutes or until they start to soften on the outside but are still not cooked all the way through
  • Once the potatoes are done drain them, add some salt and shake inside of the colander till the potatoes are fluffy on the outside this will make them crispy
  • Heat up enough oil to cover the bottom of the baking tray and place in an oven at (180 degrees celsius / gas mark 4 / 355 Fahrenheit) for a few minutes or until the hot is nice and hot
  • Carefully put the potatoes into the baking tray spread evenly and continue baking at the same temperature, turning over and shaking them every 10 - 15 minutes or so
  • Once they are golden brown, crisp and cooked all the way through your potatoes are ready, the baking time is usually 45 - 55 minutes
