I've always cooked roast potatoes by soaking them in cold water, drying them and putting them straight into hot fat to roast. The resulting roast potato is absolutely delicious.
I found it that technically you're supposed to par boil them and then put them in the fat. I tried it and I just don't think the potato tastes as good this way. The potato loses flavour as it's been boiled and the skin is hard and soaks up too much fat.
Is this an horrendous opinions that I have?
My grandfather was a chef at a top restaurant and always taught me to roast potatoes without par boiling them first.
