I am fairly sure that these potatoes are of the most important factors of a healthy lasting relationship with a potato loving vegetarian.

In my opinion the key to roast potatoes is technique, not fancy ingredients. Adding goose fat and beef dripping is very cheffy - but who keeps a pot of goose fat in the fridge apart from Nigel Slater?

This is really easy and all you need are cupboard basics.

1

Peel and cut the potatoes up. I have used Maris Pipers here. Roosters are great and also King Edwards. I always prefer to have more smaller potatoes than less large ones as they cook faster and you get more crispy edges! Preheat the oven to 180 fan.
2

Cover with cold water and add salt. Bring to the boil and then parboil for 7 minutes.
3

Drain and leave to rest for 4 minutes to let the steam clear. It’s important to not rush this.
4

Cover with the lid and then swirl the pot around to toughen up the edges. Add the oil - vegetable oil or rapeseed. Olive oil has too low a smoke point. Add salt, pepper, flour and then make sure the potatoes have a nice even covering.
5

Pop into the oven at 180 fan and roast for 50 minutes, turning occasionally.
6

Prepare other elements of the meal or have a cup of tea. Today I watched the snow falling on Castle Park with a biscuit.
7

When they look like this they are done. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside! Allow them to cool for 5 minutes or so and this will improve the flavour.

We had ours with Pieminister Pies and Brussel Sprouts. Don’t forget to add gravy.
