Perfectly crisp and fluffy roast potatoes. Our classic British Roast Potatoes are a family favourite side dish.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Roast potatoes are a tasty side dish us Brits serve with our roast dinner on a Sunday. They\u2019re my favourite part of a roast dinner, along with Yorkshire Puddings, some sage and onion stuffing, and not to forget, lashings of warm gravy.<\/p>\n

Just now, thinking of a bowl of warm roast potatoes and gravy is making me hungry!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a Brit like myself, then you have most likely eaten roast potatoes since a very young age, almost every Sunday or for a mid-week roast. With Christmas less than a month away, I figured an easy roast potato recipe would be helpful to share!<\/p>\n

Our family loves these. The recipe is my Mum\u2019s. Every time we have one of Mum\u2019s roasts, everyone is drooling as soon as the roasties make their way to the table!<\/p>\n

Homemade roast potatoes are easy to make. You want to start by selecting a good roasting potato. As this is my Mum\u2019s recipe, I\u2019ve used her expertise to help share all the best tips. Maris Piper, King Edward or any floury potato is best of all to use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To start, we need to peel and cut the potatoes. You want big roast potatoes here, so we\u2019re halving each potato and then cutting each half in half once again. About 6cm in diameter. To parboil, fill a large saucepan\/pot with the potatoes, then cover the potatoes in cold water \u2013 taking the water about an inch above the potatoes. Generously salt the water and bring the potatoes up to the boil.<\/p>\n

Once boiling, turn the heat down and continue to gently boil for around 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes for a few minutes, then return them to the saucepan. Cover with a couple of pieces of kitchen paper and leave to stand for 5 minutes \u2013 this helps dry the potato out further, increasing the crispiness later on!<\/p>\n

Now, add the seasoning along with the oil. Put the lid back on the saucepan and give the pan a good shake and toss the potatoes around. This creates rough edges, which again will make your roasties super crispy \u2013 just how we want them!<\/p>\n

Transfer your potatoes to a large baking tray, pop a few cloves of garlic and some rosemary in the pan if you desire, then roast for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

If you like your roast potatoes really crispy, cook longer until they are your desired texture.<\/p>\n

These golden and fluffy potatoes are naturally gluten-free and completely vegan too.<\/p>\n

Now you have a fantastic potato recipe to make for Christmas Day!<\/p>\n
