This recipe is best made using small whole potatoes. Make sure you preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius for fan forced ovens and 170 degrees for your conventional oven. The end result will be perfectly roasted potatoes, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Step 1) Partially boil your peeled whole potatoes for about 10 minutes or until just tender. Do not overcook or they will just collapse in the oven.
Step 2) Get out your roasting pan and add olive oil. Heat this in the oven for about five minutes or until hot. Remove from oven.
Step 3) Drain potatoes very well and pat dry with paper towel. Place in roasting pan and gently move around until they are all coated in the olive oil. This is very important because it's the hot oil that actually cooks the potatoes, along with the heat of the oven.
Step 4) Cook for approximately 20 to 30 minutes depending on their size, until golden brown. Remove from oven an place on paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Step 5) Serve with your favourite roast dinner and enjoy.
