Ingredients

  • 1 kg potatoes
  • 8-10 sage leaves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Sunflower oil - 5mm layer in the roasting pan
Metric - US customary

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.

 Peel your potatoes and cut into quarters (if small cut into halves instead).
  • Put the chopped potatoes into a pan of cold water. Parboil - bring to the boil, reduce the heat and cook until just starting to soften.
  • While your potatoes are parboiling, pour a 5mm deep layer of sunflower oil into your roasting tin and put in the oven to get hot.
  • Once just soft drain your potatoes and return to the saucepan. Shake the saucepan gently so the potatoes hit the sides of the pan.
  • Carefully remove the roasting tin from the oven and place the potatoes into the oil - take care as the oil will be very hot.
  • Add 8-10 sage leaves and some sea salt and gently mix.
  • Replace the tray in the oven for 20 minutes. Take it out, carefully turn each potato over and put back in the oven for a further 20 minutes. Repeat once more and roast for a final 20 minutes.
  • Serve on Christmas Day or with a roast dinner.
