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.
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.
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.
