Try Tom Kerridge’s best roast potato recipe to guarantee perfectly golden, crisp roast potatoes every time. “The key is allowing the potatoes to gently steam dry before cooking in hot oil,” says Tom. “But there’s no need to shake the pan once they’re par-boiled. Just poach gently, then remove with a slotted spoon – this will allow them to develop that golden crust. These are finished with some M&S wagyu beef dripping for an extra layer of flavour – epic.”

step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Peel the potatoes (1.5 kg) and cut into chunks, trying to keep them all roughly the same size.
step 3
Add to a large pan of salted simmering water and poach for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and leave to air-dry on a cooling rack.
step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, add a generous splash of vegetable oil to a large roasting tray and place it in the oven to preheat.
step 5
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the potatoes to the tray, ensuring they don’t overlap. Place in the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
