Ingredients
1.5 kg potatoes (peeled weight), Maris Piper, King Edward or Desiree are the best
1 level tsp cornflour
6 tbsp goose fat or sunflower oil
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Cut the potatoes into even sized chunks. Add to a large pan of cold water, cover and heat until simmering. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
2
Drain, then return to the pan. Stand over a very low heat, uncovered, for a minute to allow moisture to evaporate.
3
Sprinkle on the cornflour. Cover the pan with a lid and shake to coat them in cornflour and roughen up the edges.
4
Heat the goose fat or sunflower oil in a large roasting tin, then add the potatoes. Turn them over in the fat so that they're all coated.
5
Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Roast the potatoes for another 20-30 minutes or until crisp and golden on the outside and tender in the middle.
6
Lift out with a draining spoon, leaving the fat behind.
7
Put in a warm serving dish and sprinkle with sea salt.
