Questions about Roasted potatoes
How do you make roasted potatoes crisp on the outside?
Parboil peeled or scrubbed chunks for 8–10 minutes, drain well and shake them in the pan to roughen the edges. Tip them into hot oil or dripping, then roast in a single layer at 200°C fan (220°C conventional) for about 45–60 minutes, turning once.
Which potatoes are best for roasting?
Floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edward, turn fluffy inside and crisp at the edges. Waxy potatoes hold their shape more firmly, so they suit smaller, neater roast potatoes.
Can you roast potatoes without parboiling them first?
Yes: cut them into evenly sized chunks, coat with oil and roast at 200°C fan (220°C conventional) for about 50–60 minutes, turning once or twice. They will usually have a denser centre and less craggy, crisp edges than parboiled potatoes.
How should you store and reheat roasted potatoes?
Cool them promptly, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot oven at 200°C until piping hot and crisp, usually 10–15 minutes; a microwave warms them but leaves the edges soft.
What do roasted potatoes go well with?
They are a classic side for roast dinners with gravy, roasted meat or nut roast, and work well with roast vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. For a simple meal, serve them with fried eggs and greens.
Can you freeze roasted potatoes?
Yes. Freeze cooled potatoes in a single layer, then transfer them to a sealed container; roast from frozen at 200°C fan until piping hot and crisp, turning once. Their texture may be softer than freshly roasted potatoes.
How much roasted potato is a typical portion?
A portion of about 85 g is a small handful of chunks and provides 108 kcal. The amount of oil used in roasting can change the energy content.
