    Yum! Planning on doing some roasties myself in a short while.

    Looks fantastic.

    Apart from a wee niggle. Those roasties could do with a good fluff after a par boil and a longer roast for extra crunchiness. At least for my taste.

    Just constructive criticism of the niggliest order.

    Lol - no worries... I don't like them too crunchy though, and neither does Del.

    We don't par-boil our roast potatoes, as we prefer eating smaller, bite-sized chunks, than half-slices of potato (as is more common with roasties), which of course you would need to par-boil, otherwise they'd be rock hard. Smaller chunks also infuse better in herbs (freshly-chopped rosemary), olive oil, garlic and rock salt, which are the Italian/mediterranean flavours we like.

    These were nice and fluffy inside, with a firm but not too crunchy outer. Perfect

    On the subject of roasties, this is my preferred method..

    Bring potatoes in cold water to the boil.

    Drain water from pan.

    Add a couple of tablespoons of fine semolina mixed with mustard powder and salt n pepper to the pan.

    Put the lid on and give the pan a good shake to cover the potatoes and fluff them up.

    Empty the pan out into a roasting tray that has been given a generous costing of cold olive oil.

    Make sure the spuds are given a good coating.

    Pop into hot oven.
