In my experience of cooking roast dinners, you can never cook too many potatoes. Whether you’re cooking spuds to go with slow-cooked meats, pan-fried salmon or a simple chicken piccata, even the most diminutive eater can’t help going back for more. Enter our favourite recipe for roasted potatoes. Golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these are the roast potatoes that dreams are made of. Boiling the potatoes before baking provides the soft and creamy insides and cooking in a combination of oil and butter adds both flavour and helps the outsides to get extra crunchy. Another tip? We crank up the heat in the last 15 minutes of cooking, ensuring they’re golden all over. After trying this recipe you’ll never cook potatoes any other way.
