I’ve always thought I was good at Roasting Potatoes, but until today I’d have never ranked myself as some kind of spud deity.
I also don’t believe in witchcraft, but the ever growing potato/triffid plant must have some voodoo qualities becuase today I made just about the best Roast Potatoes that have ever been made in the history of Planet Earth.
In fact, if we could utilise a Flux Capacitor, A TARDIS or a Quantum Leapy type thing we can go back and make sure that when the first person ever roasted a potato, even accidentally, when they bit into it what they will nowq have said was “My God, I appear to have [possibly inadvertantly] invented a new way of cooking potatoes, this is delicious, but I think that no matter how I’ve cooked it, the technique for roasting potatoes will be perfected on 12th June 2005 by Terry Saunders, even though I am so far in the past that I don’t even use the modern calender”
I don’t want to give away all my secrets, but I will. The secret is a hot pan in the oven with olilve oil in, then when they are par boiled give them a good salting and a shake in the pan to make them all bashed up and fluffy.
Normally I’d think to add rosemary, but I am not posh and don’t have herbs.
Just imagine if I had done, the world might have ended.
This was part of a great roast dinner, with carrots and broccolli and gravy and posh sausages.
And then for pudding I had apple strudel and custard.
A perfect sunday.
