Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, add the potatoes, then boil for 5 mins. Drain the potatoes well, then shake in the colander (or back in the pan), to rough up the edges a little. Tip into your largest roasting tin and sprinkle with the flour and some salt. Stir, then drizzle over the oil and stir again so that no dusty flour remains.

  • step 2

    Roast for 50 mins, putting them in the oven on the bottom shelf when you take the foil off the chicken (see 'Goes well with' recipe). When you take the chicken out, give the potatoes a stir, then they should need 20 more mins to finish on the top shelf while you make the gravy and set the table.

I have used this recipe many times and highly vouch for it. You can't beat crispy roasties with a roast and I highly recommend this method

I used Tesco's jacket potatoes, extra virgin olive oil and added rosemary. Came out nice and crunchy.

Never mind Roosters - try Jelly Potatoes from Greenvale Farm Fresh! They are available in most Tesco stores and are by far and away the best potato I've tasted.

If you want to kick up the flavour a bit, try adding powdered garlic, pepper, and some rosemary to the flour. I also tend to use corn flour which makes for an even crunchier outside.

Thank you! I always sprinkle plain flour on my roast potatoes to make them crispy but my son has just cut gluten from his diet so your cornflour tip has really helped me

Lovely. I also used Rooster potatoes as these are a favourite in our family. Very crunchy. Will use this again.
