Tried this tonight - absolutely lovely.
Ingredients
- FOR THE TOPPING
- 8 Potatoes
- mixed herbs
- olive oil
- English Mustard
- 2 garlic cloves. finely chopped
Method
- Peel and chop potatoes into chunks (roughly the same size as an average roast potato) place into deep baking tray, sprinkle chopped garlic over the top and cover with kettle boiled water. - Coverage of potatoes around 2 thirds.
- Put 1 teaspoon of english mustard over the potatoes - it doesnt matter about covering all potatoes as it is soaked up with the water. Generously sprinkle olive oil over the potatoes and then sprinkle mixed herbs over the top. Add a touch of salt and pepper and cover tray with kitchen foil.
- Put oven onto 200 and place tray inside. They take roughly 1 hour to make, sometimes a little longer depending how long the water takes to soak into the potatoes. Once the majority of the water is soaked up uncover the tray and leave to cook without foil.

I have never been able to cook the perfect roast potato - that is not until now - I tried you method and my kids and family went mad for them. They loved the fact that they were evenly crispy on the outside (not like my usual misshapen efforts which were always burnt on one edge and uncooked in the side)and lovely and fluffy on the inside thank you

MMMmmmm! Crispy golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Sounds great. The tip about draining out all the oil and putting them back in the oven to finish crisping is a good one. I'll try that on Sunday.
