WARNING: not for the weight watchers, fat is essential in this recipe. As a vegetarian I stayed away from the goose fat which people usually recommend. Here's how I made it
Ingredients: 500g floury potatoes
75g butter
4 tbsp olive oil
Four sprigs of fresh rosemary
Coarse salt and pepper
1 tsp all purpose seasoning
1 crushed clove garlic
Peel and boil potatoes for 15 minutes
Drain potatoes and remove all of the water
Return to saucepan and fluff potatoes with a fork till they're rough and rugged
In a small saucepan melt butter with olive oil, rosemary and seasoning till it bubbles
Place potatoes in a roasting pan and pour oil and herb mixture over the potatoes
Toss potatoes till all of them are coated in oil
Bake on gas mark 6 for 45 minutes to 1hr or until cooked through, crispy and golden.
I served it with roast chicken for the meat eaters: recipe coming soon. I had salad and tofu with mine.
