I am practising Jamie Oliver's roast potatoes today and see if I can do them well enough for Christmas. He boiled them first until they were looking a bit scrappy around the edges and then he put them into a pan/dish in a hot oven with olive oil and cooked them well, then he squashed them with a masher thing and put them back in the oven for another crisp up. At least, I think I have followed everything. Did anyone else see that show yesterday?

They looked delicious. I love making my roast potatoes this way when I can be bothered (sometimes I'm too lazy to par-boil). I also like doing a combo of olive oil & butter (as well as whatever herbs I feel like). I haven't tried the potato masher method though..must do that.

I remember he par boiled them in salt water at the beginning and added herbs and butter and sh*t half way through, and at some point crushed them with the masher.

i saw jamie do that a while back and have been doing my potatoes like that ever since...soooo yummy! I use butter, sea salt and rosemary and i cut the potatoes length ways so they are already flat and wide, they always turn out awesome!
I LOVE JAMIE OLIVER!! |

I haven't any duck fat and I have to watch my cholesterol, so the butter will be enough.

I do my potatoes like this all the time too since seeing it last year.
I do them in butter then add the fresh rosemary and garlic cloves soaked in olive oil for the last half hour of roasting. |
