And make sure you take the battery out of your smoke detector so it doesn't go stir crazy when it detects the heat from the oven :-)

Right, let's start again in time for Christmas shall we? Cut the large potatoes to size and put into a saucepan and leave under running water until there is no startch left in the water - important. Then put in fresh very well salted water (absolutely vital for crispy roast potatoes). Then follow the instructions already given but use goose or duck fat - there is no comparison with any other fat. Potatoes should be very dry when added to hot fat by the way

I forgot to mention in my comments 2 hours ago that you should boil the potatoes as long as you dare - not as in the recipe. You want melting soft insides and crispy outsides! After 12-15 minutes watch them like a hawk until they look and feel like theyre going to break up. It's also a good idea to take the tray with the heated fat out of the oven and put on the hob to keep continuously very hot. Certainly rough the spuds up by shaking (or forking) - but dry them thoroughly first. Afterwards you can strain off the (hopefully goose) fat and reuse.

This is how my gran used to do them. Yum.

I used oil instead of lard, and I put a couple of garlic cloves in the oil while heating it up in the oven. Which made the potatoes sooo tasty. Try it! Anyway, great recipe: the potatoes really came out extra crispy.

Lard? Thankfully here in Sweden lard is hard to come by. It'll make you lardy anyway. Nasty stuff and tasteless too. I use a mixture of butter and olive oil. It works a treat. The fat from last week's roast duck is even better! Otherwise I'd say the method is great.

how incredibly patronising. you also forgot to mention basting them when they are just going into the fat. the result in this video didn't even look that good and there was no mention of which potato vaieties work best and more time spent on how not to burn yourself. utter crap

unnecessarily complicated. Besides with all these steps, it makes it hard to manage a larger portion. I coat raw potatoes with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil. I cover my roasting pan with foil tightly. I let it cook for about 10 minutes(or more depending on the size of the pieces) then I remove the foil and increase the heat to make them crispy. I add the spices and or herbs in the coating process. Duck fat is a good substitute for olive oil.

Easiet way is peel the potatoes and add to the microwave with water for 10 minutes. Remove from microwave and add to preheated oven for 40minutes gas mark 8. Now thats simple. No oil, no fat just healthy
