WERE your potatoes in your Sunday roast a bit on the soft side?
Well this bloke has figured out a way to make sure they are perfectly crisp every time.
Self-confessed “potato man” jimlad83 shared his secret tip with his TikTok followers.
In the video he explains that you should pour a generous glug of vegetable oil into a roasting tin before popping it into the oven for 15 minutes.
In the meantimes parboil your peeled and quartered potatoes in salted water, before draining them and adding a hefty sprinkling of plain flour to the pan.
Adding the lid to the pan, give the spuds a vigorous shake until they are coated in the plain flour.
Remove the roasting tin from the oven and then place the potatoes in the oil – be VERY careful doing this as the oil will be extremely hot.
Jim suggests letting them sizzle for a moment then season with salt, pepper dried rosemary and thyme.
He then adds his secret ingredient Clover spreadable margerine, placing several heaped scoops into the pan.
Cook the potatoes at 180 for 40 minutes at which point turn them over and bake for another 30 minutes or until crispy.
Jim’s followers agreed that the spuds “looked amazing” with many declaring they would be using Jim’s method from now on.
