Sorry another veg thread, par boil potatoes?

[WildThongonthesparklytree]

And how to roast them? I bought goose fat just in case...

Put cut pots in cold water and bring to the boil, leave for 3 minutes and then drain. Leave to cool whilst heating goose fat to really hot in the oven.

Add pots and roast for an hour, tossing once.

Another quick response, thank you blue

Don't forget to peel them!

And after you've drained them, let them sit in the pan with the lid on to dry a bit.
And give them a good shake to roughen them up a bit. Makes them crunchier.

Yes must shake them in the pan once par boiled(not so hard they disintegrate though)

Shake HARD. The more roughed up the better. If you want extra crunch, sprinkle over some polenta.

I find draining the potatoes in a metal colander best as then you can rough them in the colander.

Blardy rant about the roast spuds yesterday.

I couldn't find any Maris Pipers (the ones I usually buy for chips/roasts) so bought King Edwards.
There were so many bruised, discoloured ones
I had to peel and cut away great big lumps of potato.

I wish I'd gone for the Heridge ones now (I tried them last week. Thought they were nice enough but not worth the £. But turned out they'd have been better than wasting most of a bag)

Humbug
