Ultimate roast potatoes
Download this recipe
Our top tip for the best ever roast potatoes is to start with the best roasting variety. Nemo cooks around 25% quicker than most traditional potatoes, so it only needs a short par-boil before roasting. Then it’s about draining them really dry and getting the fat good and hot. Watch and turn regularly while they’re roasting so you catch them while they’re crispy and golden.
