Roast Potatoes (Simon Letham)

Fab. Simon does a killer roast potato. But he's not shy of oil.

  • Preheat oven to 180° C
  • I leave the roasting tray in the oven to preheat that as well

1 kg King Edward potatoes (because they are nice and floury), peeled and cut to even sizes

  • Boil for 18 minutes until the potatoes start to disintegrate.
  • Pour off water
  • Transfer potatoes to the roasting tray

1/2 cup olive oil

  • Pour oil over the potatoes
  • Roast for 50-60 minutes at 180°C, turning (make sure it is a big pan), until crispy all over
