Are you supposed to boil potatoes before roasting?

Yes, for the majority of roast potato recipes, we’d recommend par-boiling the potatoes before roasting so you get that golden, crispy shell and soft, fluffy potato on the inside.

What oil is best for roasting potatoes?

Using a plain sunflower or vegetable oil is fine for roasting potatoes, but for that extra crunch, opt for duck fat or goose fat instead.

What seasonings go well with roast potatoes?

After roasting, tossing your potatoes with sea salt, herbs, oil and garlic can really elevate the flavour. To make sure the garlic doesn’t burn, add it in 5 minutes before the end.
