Every Christmas dinner needs a good roast potato, preferably homemade. Nothing against frozen roasties or anything, but this is one meal of the year that deserves the very best – hungry and increasingly tipsy relatives demand it. Swap the Aunt Bessie’s for Maris Pipers and follow our recipe for potato perfection.
Trust us, you’ll be enjoying these long after the decorations are down!
What you need:
Maris Piper potatoes
Olive oil
Butter
5-6 garlic cloves
A few sprigs of fresh rosemary
Seasonings
What you need to do:
1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Wash them into cold water to remove the starch and drain.
2. Put the potatoes into a pan of fresh water and add a little salt. Part-boil the spuds for 5-7 minutes until the outer layer has softened.
3. Drain the potatoes into a colander and steam over a pan of boiling water for a few minutes to reduce the moisture and allow them to crisp up more easily. Give the potatoes a good shake in the colander to help them really crisp up when cooked.
4. Prep a large baking tray with 5-6 chunks of butter and olive oil and pop in the potatoes, nicely spaced out over one layer. Cover the potatoes in oil and put them in a preheated oven at 180°C/350°F/gas 4 for 35-40 minutes.
5. Remove the potatoes from the oven and turn them over. Crush the garlic cloves and add them the baking tray. Mix in a few rosemary sprigs and pop the tray back into the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Voila! Perfect roasties.
Merry Christmas!
