  • Though this thread got derailed, and although this recipe is for roasted not baked potatoes, it is otherworldly and worth the marginal added effort. The result is fluffy and soft in the middle and perfectly crisp on the outside.b,121b,121a href="http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1303/the-ultimate-roast-potatoes" target="_blank"1http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1303/the-ultimate-roast-potatoes/a1b,121b, 21 1. Put a roasting tin in the oven (one big enough to take the potatoesb,121in a single layer) and heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Peel the potatoesb,121and cut each into 4 even-sized pieces if they are medium size, 2-3 ifb,121smaller (5cm pieces). Drop the potatoes into a large pan and pour in enoughb,121water to barely cover them. Add salt, then wait for the water to boil. Asb,121soon as the water reaches a full rolling boil, lower the heat, put yourb,121timer on and simmer the potatoes uncovered, reasonably vigorously, for 2b,121mins. Meanwhile, put your choice of fat into the hot roasting tin and heatb,121it in the oven for a few mins, so it's really hot.b, 21 2. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Now it's time to rough them up ab, 21bit - shake the colander back and forth a few times to fluff up theb, 21outsides. Sprinkle with the flour, and give another shake or two so theyb,121are evenly and thinly coated. Carefully put the potatoes into the hot fat -b,121they will sizzle as they go in - then turn and roll them around so they areb,121coated all over. Spread them in a single layer making sure they have plentyb,121of room.b, 21 3. Roast the potatoes for 15 mins, then take them out of the oven andb,121turn them over. Roast for another 15 mins and turn them over again. Putb,121them back in the oven for another 10-20 mins, or however long it takes tob,121get them really golden and crisp. The colouring will be uneven, which isb,121what you want. Scatter with salt and serve straight away.

    Been roasting potatoes like this since I was old enough to use the oven. Best roasties come from cooking them with a cut of lamb - crisped up on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Also lamb means mint sauce and mint sauce means bread and gravy.....
