A man has shared the two ingredients he uses to making the crispiest roast potatoes every time, and it’s got people talking online.
Keen home cook Justin Taylor shared a photo of his “perfect” roast potatoes along with his go-to recipe. After sharing the post on Facebook, everyone agreed Justin’s roasties looked delicious.
One person said: “They sound amazing! My mouths watering just reading that. Can’t wait to try them!” And another said: “Yes, please. We’ll definitely be giving these a go at some point.”
Justin captioned the post, revealing the two ingredients he uses: “Honey and mustard roast potatoes. Then Nutella bricks for dessert.”
Justin’s roast potatoes recipe
You will need:
- Peeled and chopped white potatoes
- Two teaspoons of Colman’s English mustard
- Four teaspoons of squeezy honey
- Black pepper and salt to taste
Method:
Add pepper and the mustard into a bowl and blend them together. Then, add honey – make sure to mix thoroughly.
Pre-heat your oven-safe roasting tray with oil and two tablespoons of butter and salt. Then add your potatoes and baste with the honey mustard mixture.
When there’s only 20 minutes left before they’re ready, baste them again – this will ensure they’re full of flavour. Continue to baste every five minutes to keep them crisp.
Elsewhere, Marc Williams, a chef from The Grand – a posh five-star hotel in York – has given his two cents on the one error folks often make while rustling up roast potatoes.
He spilled the beans to the Daily Record about how it’s essential to let your spuds cool down totally after parboiling them.
The chef advised: “To get the perfect potatoes, peel them, add them to cold water and bring them to a boil. Boil for around six minutes until the edges soften.
“Then, strain them and wait until the steam stops. You’ll never get a crisp result if they are full of water.”
