WHAT’S your favourite part of a Sunday roast?
Some folk pile the Yorkshire puddings onto their plate, and others opt for lashings of gravy. But, arguably the most popular element of the staple British dish is the humble roast potato.
Light and fluffy on the inside, warm and crispy on the outside - there’s nothing we don’t love about a perfectly-cooked spud.
The problem is, with different ovens and appliances, oils, butters and herbs, the starchy staple can sometimes come out dry or the complete opposite - far too oily and soft.
It’s a nightmare we’d rather avoid, especially with Christmas upon us. So, how do we get a top notch roast potato every single time?
Thankfully, one enthusiastic foodie has gone the extra mile for all of us and introduced her failsafe method to impress guests - and your own taste buds - each time we serve them.
TikTok star Dishesbydaisy has racked up over 600,000 followers thanks to her delightful and delicious recipes.
In a recent clip, she had a go at roast potatoes - but her followers noticed a little twist.
“Let’s make crispy and spicy potatoes,” she says as the video begins.
Daisy vows they’re the best potatoes you’ll ever eat, making our mouths water as she holds one of the golden brown discs up to the camera and scrapes it with a knife to make a divine crackling sound.
Let’s see how she does it:
Grab 300g of Charlotte potatoes and chop into discs - around 1cm. Add a generous shake of salt, pepper and Aromat seasoning.
Then drizzle some oil over the top and mix with a wooden slotted spoon.
Decant the sliced and spiced potatoes onto an oven tray and space apart to allow even cooking.
Sprinkle thyme or rosemary on top for aromatic taste.
Pop into the oven at 200 degrees for about 40 minutes - and don’t forget to turn them half way through).
