Ingredients
1kg Everyday Potatoes
1 Tbsp Snowflake Semolina OR Snowflake Cake Wheat Flour
8 Tbsp fat or oil of your choice
1 Tbsp Salt
Method
- Peel potatoes and chop into egg-sized chunks. Boil in salted water until the outside is done, then drain.
- Heat the oven to 220C.
- Add fat or oil to a roasting tray, big enough to put the potatoes in a single layer. Fat should be 0,5cm in the bottom of the tray.
- Put the tray in the oven to heat up – it must be very hot. Shake potatoes to roughen the edges, mix the semolina or flour with a tablespoon of salt and and sprinkle over.
- Tip into the hot fat or oil – it should sizzle – and turn until coated on all sides.
- Roast for 20minutes, then turn and roast for 20 minutes more, until crisp and golden.
- Optionally add whole garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the tray for the last 15 minutes of cooking and mix to ad more flavour.
