My dad was originally from the UK and took great pride making his special English oven roasted potatoes. It was the same elaborate process like this. Crispy outsides and fluffy tender insides. Everyone that tried them was absolutely smitten with them. Such Simple ingredients but the proper technique makes the difference. These are on the menu for tomorrow’s dinner.

After I par-boil, I drain and add to the saucepan a very small amount of a mixture of plain flour, salt and pepper, then shake well to ‘fluff’ and coat the potatoes. Then bake as usual. The fluffy outside holds the flour mix, and crisps perfectly during the bake. Ultra crispy, ultra golden roast potatoes. I’m 58, and my mother, (Born in England in 1928) always made them this way.

I will have to give your extra steps a try next time I make these. One thing that I do different to add flavor is I use peanut oil and then I also add some beef tallow shavings. We bought a half cow a few years ago and I kept all the fat trimmings to make tallow out of, I keep it in the fridge in small cubes. A little bit really adds some great flavor.

Home Ec. Cooking and Sewing. I liked it very much. Cooking more than sewing. I made a two piece bathing suit!! I loved eating our planned out meal. My Grandma was a fabulous cook and Baker and so was the eldest Aunt Evelyn. My mother Thelma and her sister Polly left the farm and went to business college in Memphis with their cousins who went before them. One cousin had a boyfriend who owned several pharmacies. They had jobs waiting on them as bookkeepers. Grandma had been a schoolteacher before her old age marriage at 23!!! She always encouraged the girls in education. They both married and stayed there. My mother always worked and hated cooking and in general housekeeping. She was a terrible terrible cook and did not even cook on a regular basis. My father was great at the bbq. He did it for all the family get togethers on both sides. He built a pit in our backyard. I learned what I knew from remembering Grandma and Aunt Evelyn's cooking. My Granny's mother died when she was 2. She did not have anyone to learn from and cooked canned biscuits etc. However, her father remarried and had 4 more children. That wife died early also. My Granny and her sister raised those kids. They were both married with growing families themselves. Aunt Evelyn's

I have been roasting potatoes this way for the past 60 yrs following instructions given by my mother, who did it as taught by her mother. It's very old. We, however, had one difference, we did not cut them as small as you have. A potatoe the size of yours would be cut once lengthways into 2, then again once into quarters always cut lengthways, to get the biggest surface area. But I found a trick of my own that makes them even better. If you can get it, use duck fat. Duck fat takes a considerable heat, so you can rack up the heat, and that makes for delicious tasting very crispy exteriors, and creamy interiors, because the crispy exterior seals the inside to cook in its own liquid.

These look amazing! This came up in my feed, and I had to subscribe after watching. I'm in the US, Oregon, right next to Idaho, so I use Russets. (I really need to try Yukon Gold, but they're more expensive.) These would make a nice change. Normally when I roast potatoes, I don't boil them at all. I do cut them like you do. One way I make them is to dunk them in half melted butter, half olive oil, scatter smashed garlic cloves and rosemary over them, season and roast for about an hour and 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Crispy, but in a different way. To go with a roast or turkey, I use bacon fat, but stir a few times, and baste them very lightly several times with drippings from the meat, so they dry out in between bastings and get the glaze from the meat juices baked on. These turn out half crispy, as I call it. 😄 Crispy and really browned on the ends and edges, softer in the middles. They taste lovely, wih or without gravy. I'm definitely going to try your method. My mouth is watering just thinking about the taste and crunch! Thank you.

I followed how to boil the potatoes, cooled and then after getting that fat hot, I remained patient and my family and guest at Christmas 🎄 dinner were in love with these potatoes! We has a roast beef, creamed carrots, and green peas. THANK YOU! I’ve made these potatoes for New Years and just for a regular week night last week.

Hi Mr Paul, That’s an excellent idea of how to create crispy roast potatoes! I cook two sorts of roast potatoes, some as crispy as possible for my partner, so I’m certain that he’ll absolutely love them when I try your recipe. However, I have to admit that I’m a bit of a heretic about roast potatoes, because I like mine done in the pan with the roast so they are brown and juicy but bot very crispy at all, and waxy on the inside, not fluffy. LOL (They taste delicious though, due to all the juices from the roast. ) My mother always made her roast potatoes crispy, and after I left home it took me quite a while to learn how to NOT cook them that way too. Then, when years later my husband had his first family meal at my parents house, he asked, almost indignantly, “Why don’t youcook roast potatoes like your mum does?” So, I had to then painstakingly re-learn how to make them crispy. LOL

*About 425 to 450 degrees, for those who use proper American temperature units. Multiply by 1.8 and then add 32 to get regular American Fahrenheit degrees. Good method. Works great with beef fat from a roast, or goose fat. Nothing wrong with lard, though. I have seen a similar skin texture achieved by tossing the just drained potatoes in instant potato flakes.

@@adm6785 If you forget just remember water freezes at 0°C and at 32°F, and it boils at 100°C and 212°F. So 0°C = 32°F, and 100°C = 212°F, so a 180°F temperature difference = 100°C temperature difference, so a one degree C difference = 1.8°F difference. 10°C above freezing is therefore the same as 18°F above freezing. But Fahrenheit has a headstart. So that 18°F above freezing, because freezing is 32°F, equals 40°F temp, which also equals 10°C. As an example. Now you know the logic behind the formula so if you forget, you can work it out in your head how it has to go.

I used to make mine in the oven with beef dripping, like you have in the oven, but never for that length of time, 40 minutes at the most. Recently I started coating them in baking powder and that really made them more crispy. I've just ordered a Vortex air fryer and will be doing them in that from now on. I do believe using less oil in an air fryer is not comparable, but perhaps if I do them in my usual roastie tin with dripping in the drawer will work. I really hope so.

I entertain a lot and am particularly noted among my friends for my roast potatoes, which I do in a very similar way to you, and as I 'rough them up" before putting in the fat, I sprinkle a good tablespoon or two of semolina over them and toss them in that to coat them. I find it makes a lovely crispy crunchy coating.

Yes, the baking soda trick is a winner for sure This is very similar to Kenji López-Alt's method (there's an easy-to-find YT video showing his approach), By tossing the spuds in infused oil prior to going in the oven, though, it avoids that bit of spitting you almost always get when introducing the parboiled spuds into a tray of seriously hot fat. Hot fat is dangerous stuff, and I like any method which avoids juggling with it without compromising the results. I do prefer at least some salt in the parboiling water though, to get some into the body of the potatoes themselves. Spuds can be terribly bland without enough salt, and surface salting doesn't always solve that issue. I get that some people need to limit their salt intake though, so if cooking for a crowd, leaving it out might make sense, in which case I'd go very light on the surface salting and allow diners to add more to their personal taste.

Thank you for a wonderful video and telling us your secret. When you took the lard out of the oven it appeared to be a lot and then when you added the potatoes to the lard it seemed to be less lard. How much lard should be used? Thank you.

Great secret, thank you! You can also make delicious potato chips (or do the English say crisps?) out of the peels when you have time. Would be interesting to try the secret on the peels!

Having lived both sides of the Atlantic king Edwards were my Mums go to spud but here I like using what they call baking potatoes as the are bigger like a king Edward but basically a big russet type spud. Those potatoes you used look very simular to Yukon golds if not the same thing thin skinned and yellowish inside. Honesty roasted potatoes are Abfab and those look ❤️😘🥰👍🏼

Can you help perhaps? I watched the video 3 times but missed how much Bicarb was used and at what stage ?

Unfortunately in South Africa we don't have Potato names in the stores, just Potatoes so we never know what type they are, probably BP 1 !! We just have no options !!

@@yvonnewintgens6046 Just after you put the potatoes into the pot and covered good with water (do NOT put salt in the pot), you put 1 level teaspoon of Baking Soda/ Sodium Bicarbonate. Then boil the potatoes. I hope I answered your question.🙏🤗
