Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1.3kg floury potatoes
300g lard
2 tbsp semolina

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut into even-size pieces (Ivy House used Marfona and allowed 4 pieces per person).
  • Put potatoes in boiling salted water. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, melt lard in a thick roasting pan in the oven at 220C/fan 200/gas 7. (Ivy House tried both goose fat and butcher's beef dripping, but found neither as successful as good old lard.)
  • Drain the potatoes and put back in the saucepan with a couple of tbsp of semolina. Cover the pan and shake it to rough up the potatoes.
  • Remove the baking tray from the oven and put the potatoes in the lard, turning to coat each one in the melted lard.
  • Return the tray to the oven and roast for 40 mins, turning the potatoes 2-3 times as necessary.
  • Remove tray from the oven and put the potatoes in a serving dish. Return the dish of potatoes to the hot oven for 10 mins to dry any fat off. Serve straight away - roast potatoes wait for no man!
