Ingredients

Method
    For soft, melt-in-the-mouth potatoes:

  • 2 kg bag Woolworths Everyday medium potatoes, peeled
  • sea salt, to taste
  • white pepper, to taste
  • For the crispy roast potatoes: 

  • 2 kg bag Woolworths Everyday medium potatoes, peeled
  • canola oil, for frying
  • Maldon sea salt, to taste

Melt-in-the-mouth potatoes

1. Season the potatoes and cook in a roasting pan with the meat for 40 minutes, adding a little water to the pan if necessary so that it doesn’t go dry. Turn halfway during the cooking time.

Crispy roast potatoes:

1. Halve the potatoes and parboil in salted water. Do not overcook them; they should hold their shape.

2. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan and cover in a generous amount of oil. Roast for 30–40 minutes at 200°C, or until golden brown. Season with sea salt before serving.

Cook’s note: Spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray before adding the potatoes to ensure they don’t stick to the pan.
