Auntie Bessies chemically enhanced crap?
Oh dear God no.....



Real Roasties....

Skin the spuds
Parboil for 5-8 mins.

Drain, shake & bruise with flour


MAJOR EDIT - My wife has just told me...
You should put a roasting tray/ pan into the oven for 15 mins first, so that the oil is hot. This helps give the spuds the 'correct' colour and consistency.

What the heck do I know?



Roast for 1hr 20-30 mins with a clove of garlic....

Even these don't look anyware near as good as my missus does.

Looks like they aven't been bruised - says me, the guy who can't boil water.....
