Time 1h35m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tbsp rapeseed oil
1½ kg Maris Piper potatoes , cut into quarters, peelings reserved
50g butter
½ bunch of lemon thyme
6 garlic cloves , lightly bashed
1 tbsp sea salt

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.

ENGLISH ROASTED POTATOES

These potatoes are one of my favorites. Crispy outer skin, and perfectly creamy baked potato inside. These take some time to cook, but oh so good. The tip to these potatoes is par boiling and a very hot roasting pan to start. Enjoy!

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 medium russet potatoes,washed
1/4 c olive oil (butter or other oil will work as well; a butter/olive oil combination is very good too)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1 head of garlic, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • 1. Parboil the potatoes in salted water for about 10 minutes.
  • 2. In a 375 degree F oven, heat a baking pan large enough to hold your potatoes without crowding. Just make sure it is heated well beforehand. This will help keep the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
  • 3. After parboiling, drain the potatoes and let them stand for 5 minutes. Then toss the potatoes with the oil, salt, pepper and garlic.
  • 4. Place the seasoned potatoes, garlic and oil to the hot baking pan. These should sizzle as they hit the pan.
  • 5. Roast the potatoes for about 60-75 minutes or until they are nicely golden brown all over. turn the potatoes every 20 minutes or so. After the first 10 minutes, give the pan a shake to make sure the potatoes are not sticking to it. The roasted garlic may have to be removed before the potatoes are finished as it generally cooks faster.
  • 6. Enjoy!..they are delicious.
