Ingredients
8 tbsp sunflower oil, or another fat of your choosing2kg fluffy potatoes (such as Maris Pipers) peeled and cut into chunks
Cornish sea salt flakes, to season
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Add the oil to a large roasting tin and put in the oven to heat up.
- Add the potatoes to a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-8 minutes until they begin to soften on the outside. Drain and allow to steam dry in the colander for a few minutes, then shake to fluff the edges.
- Carefully remove the roasting tin from the oven. Add potatoes to the tin (be careful as they will splutter) and sprinkle generously with the sea salt. Roast for 1hour- 1hour 15minutes, turning the potatoes half way through. Transfer to a warm dish and serve.
