My mum makes the best fast roast potatoes in the world and during my last visit we made them together so I could share the recipe. The secret is in the 5th step - you need to really shake that pan to ruffle them up. The more ruffled you get them, the crispier they will be :-)

Steps

35 mins

1

Put a pan of water on a high heat. Wash, peel and cut the potatoes.
2

Put the potatoes in the pan, cover and boil for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the potato pieces
3

When done, put some oil in the oven tray and put it in a pre-heated oven at 250º. Drain the pan and cut the potatoes into smaller pieces
4

Put them back in the pan, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt
5

Cover the pan again and shake like mad. Up, down and sideways!!!
6

Get the oven tray out and empty the shaken potatoes into it. The oil will be very hot so be careful not to burn yourself.
7

Move the potatoes around a bit so they are coated in the oil and the curvy bit is touching the pan (to avoid sticking)
8

Put back in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes, until they look like this -->
9

Enjoy!!

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
