  by Nancy Turner
Preperation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 1 hour 5 mins
Serves: 10

Recipe Ingredients
2kg potatoes such as maris piper ot desiree, peeled and cut evenly into halves or quarters;
4tbsp goose fat or 200ml olive oil;
sea salt.
 
Recipe Method
Parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes. Drain well and return to the pan and set over a low heat for a few seconds to allow remaining moisture to evaporate.

Give the pan a good shake to roughen up the edges of the potatoes, which will make them crispier.

Put the fat or oil in a large roasting pan and heat in the oven at 190c/gas5/375F for 5 minutes until hot. Carefully add the potatoes, turning them to coat in the fat or oil. Roast for 1 hour (can do this above the turkey) tossing them afer 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. Sprinkle with sea salt to serve.
