Wash and peel the potatoes; cut each into 4 even sizes. Drop the potatoes in a large pot and pour enough water to barely cover them; add salt then wait for the water to boil. As soon as the water reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat and simmer the potatoes uncovered for about 2 minutes.

Drain the potatoes in a colander. Roughen them up a bit by shaking the colander back and forth to fluff up the outsides. Sprinkle your breadcrumbs over them and shake a few more times till they are evenly coated with the breadcrumbs.

Put a roasting tin in the oven and heat to 180C. Add your oil and leave it in the oven for a few minutes so it's really hot. Take the roasting tin out of the oven and carefully place the potatoes in the hot oil, then turn them over a few times so they are completely coated with the oil.

Arrange them in a single layer and place in the oven. Roast for 15 minutes, turn the potatoes over and roast for another 15 minutes. Turn over once more and roast for another 10-20mins or until they are crisp and golden.

Sprinkle some salt over them and serve immediately!
