How to Make Best Ever Roast Potatoes
- Preheat your oven to 190°C / 375°F / Gas Mark 5 (or 170°C / 350°F for convection ovens).
- Peel and halve 1 kg of potatoes (avoiding russet potatoes). Choose starchy varieties like Maris Piper or King Edward for best results.
- Place the potatoes in a large pan and cover with cold salted water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes, until the potatoes are almost cooked through but still hold their shape.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Gently shake the colander to roughen the edges of the potatoes – this helps them crisp up nicely.
- Transfer the potatoes to a large roasting pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of high-quality avocado oil (New Zealand avocado oil recommended).
- Add 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, roughly chopped.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and perfectly crispy, turning halfway through for even cooking.
