Perfect Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 500 g potatoes - I used King Edward
  • 1 tbsp garlic infused olive oil goo
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C 
  • Peel the potatoes
  • Cut them, if necessary - you want all the potatoes to be a similar size
  • Wash them in cold water to remove any excess starch
  • Put them in a large saucepan and cover with cold water, sprinkle a generous pinch of sea salt and bring to a boil for circa 7 minutes
  • Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to cool for a couple of minutes
  • Rinse out the saucepan and put aside
  • Once the potatoes have cooled return them to the dry saucepan, put the lid on and shake them, while holding the lid on the pan! This loosens and fluffs up the edges which helps get the crispy bits
  • Add the goo, pepper and salt to your pan and shake the potatoes some more so that they are evenly covered
  • Lay the potatoes out on a baking tray, making sure they’re not overlapping, as you want them crispy
  • Place them in the oven for 1 hour, turning twice
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: You don't want the potatoes on the hob for too long, as if they're too soft they’ll fall apart when you shake them up!
