Refried Roasties Recipes

REALLY EASY ROASTIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the oil in a large roasting tin in the oven. Cut any larger potatoes in half. Cover the potatoes in cold salted water, bring up to the boil and cook for 2 mins. Drain and steam-dry in a colander for 5 mins, then shake to ruffle up the outsides.
• Remove the roasting tin - be really careful as the oil will be hot. Tip in the potatoes and garlic (if using), and use a spoon to turn them so they are all coated in the oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper, and roast for 1 hr 45 mins, turning every 30 mins or so, until really crisp and golden.

AIR-FRIED ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces, ensuring they're not too big. Steam for 5 mins in a steamer insert set over a pan of boiling water, or simmer gently for 5 mins. Drain well.
• Tip the drained potatoes into the bottom of an air fryer. Add the oil and toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are well-coated. Set the fryer to cook for 30 mins using the paddle. Check the potatoes are cooked through, then cook for another 5-10 mins if they're not tender or brown enough. Season well.
